May It Please Vour Honour: The undersigned has the honour to present to your Honour the Twenty- third Annual Report of The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1930. This Report covers all of the Commission's activities and also embodies the financial statements for the calendar year 1930, of the municipal electric utilities operating in conjunction with the various systems of the Commission and supplying electrical service to the citizens of the Province. Dealing, as it does, with a multiplicity of activities relating to several electrical systems obtaining power from thirty-seven hydro-electrical plants operated by the Commission, supplemented by power purchased from other sources, and recording financial and other data relating to the individual local municipal electric utilities, the Annual Report presents a large amount of statistical information, much of which must, of necessity, be of a summary character. The financial statements, the statistical data and the general information given, however, are so arranged and presented as to give a comprehensive survey of the Commission's operations. Not only does the Report record the progress made during the past year, but it gives, in addition, certain cumulative results for the various periods during which operation has been maintained in the respective municipalities. At the end of the fiscal year the number of municipalities served in Ontario by the Commission was 668. This number included 26 cities, 94 towns, 251 villages and police villages and 297 townships. With the exception of 12 suburban sections of townships known as voted areas, the townships and 79 of the smaller villages are served as parts of 160 rural power districts. During the year, the Commission purchased the properties of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company, Limited, for the sum of 821,000,000. The capacity of the generating plants and contracts for power purchased amount to 83,900 horsepower. Power is delivered to a large number of munici- palities and industrial consumers in the territory extending from Port Colborne and St. Catharines to Hamilton, Brantford and Oakville. yi TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Constructional Activities The chief constructional activities of the Commission during the past year comprised the putting into service of the tenth unit at Queenston generating station on the Niagara river, the virtual completion of the Alexander power development on the Nipigon river, substantial progress of the Chats Falls development on the Ottawa river, the completion of the second 220,000-volt circuit on separate towers of the transmission line conveying Gatineau power from the Ottawa river to Leaside, Toronto, the addition of transformer capacity to many transforming and distributing stations, and the construction of no less than 1,890 additional miles of primary lines in rural power districts. The tenth generator at Queenston came into service in July, 1930, and the temporary bulkheads and walls at the north end of the generating station were replaced by permanent structures. It is interesting to note that the hydraulic equipment and the general design of the plant are essentially the same for the tenth as for the first unit. No important advances have taken place in plant design for hydraulic units of the head and capacity of those at Queenston, and therefore the original portions of the plant, although in service for nine years, are not in any degree obsolete. The virtual completion of the Alexander power development in October and the placing in service of the first generating unit, followed a season in which construction work was carried on very rapidly in order to take full advantage of the favourable weather during the summer months for the building of the main dam, which is a semi-hydraulic earth fill. This is the first dam of this type built by the Commission. The growth in load in the Thunder Bay system has been striking. It will be remembered that not many years ago doubt was expressed as to the possibility of the then partial development at Cameron Falls finding sufficient load to justify its construction. The load demands have been such as to necessitate the completion of the Cameron Falls develop- ment and the addition of the new Alexander development. Further studies and surveys are being made of the undeveloped head on the Nipigon river between Cameron Falls and lake Nipigon. Rapid progress is being made in the design and construction of the new development at Chats Falls on the Ottawa river. When completed, 192,000 horsepower will be available at this site for the Commission's requirements. The second link between the Gatineau river plants and the Niagara system at Leaside-Toronto has been made by the completion of the second 220,000-volt circuit. This double-circuit line now in operation, provides sufficient trans- mission capacity to deliver all the power required at present from the east, for the Niagara system. Additional equipment at Toronto-Leaside transformer station has been installed, including the third and fourth banks of 15,000-kv-a. transformers. A 220,000-volt transformer station is being constructed at Chats Falls in connection with the development at that site. The regular growth in load necessitates each year a substantial increase in the transformer capacity in the various systems and the past year has been no exception. Seven 10,000-kv-a. transformers were purchased to replace 5,000- 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION vii kv-a. units in some of the 1 l(),()(M)-volt stations of the Niagara system. In the Georgian Bay system a 5,l)UU-kv-a. frequency-changer set was installed at Hanover to permit further interchange of power between this and the Niagara system. Operating Conditions The customary high standard in the operation of the systems has been maintained throughout the year and the general service has been satisfactory and free from major failures of equipment. The extensive interconnection of transmission networks has continued to exert its beneficial effects in the economy of operation and continuity of service. Further progress has been made in the advantageous programme of interconnection and consolidation. Notwithstanding the prevailing industrial depression, the total load supplied by the Commission with respect to the territory reported upon in the last year's Report, has increased. In addition, there is recorded for 1930 a further increase in the loads supplied as a result of the inclusion in this year's Report of the loads of the undertakings and companies purchased from the Dominion Power and Transmission Company, Limited, and the Bruce County service. It is appropriate to recall the fact that the 1929 increase in load over the previous year's total was exceptionally large. During the past year the output of the Commission's generating plants in the central and eastern parts of the Province was curtailed due to deficient stream flow resulting from subnormal precipitation. However, as a result of the interconnections made during recent years and the provisions for purchased power no restrictions of service were necessary in the Georgian Bay and Eastern Ontario systems. In the Nipissing district of the Northern Ontario system where interconnection with other districts is not yet provided, some restriction of load was unavoidable during December, 1929, and January, 1930, until a thaw gave relief. In the Sudbury district a flood in June caused a brief restriction of service. With these relatively minor exceptions, ample supplies of power have been continuously available in all systems. Cost of Electrical Service Furnished by the Commission The function of the Commission is not only to use its best endeavours to provide for the people of Ontario an adequate and reliable supply of electrical energy, but also to ensure that the cost of that electrical energy to the consumers shall be the minimum consistent with the financial stability of the enterprise. The success that has been attained in the accomplishment of the latter object may be appreciated by a careful study of the statistical data relating to the supply of electrical energy to consumers as given in Statement "D" and the actual rates to consumers as presented in Statement "E" in con- junction with the various financial statements of the Report. viii TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Growth ix Load The following tabulation shows the growth in load in the various systems during the year.

FiXANXiAL Summaries It will be observed that the financial statements embodied in this Report are presented in two main divisions, namely, a division — Section IX — which deals chiefly with the operations of the Commission in the generation, trans- formation and transmission of electrical energy to the co-operating municipalities; and a di\ision — Section X — which deals with the various operations of the municipal electric utilities in the localized distribution of electrical energy to consumers. In Section IX, "Rural Operating" reports are also given, which summarize the results of the local distribution of rural electrical service by the Commission to the individual consumers in rural power districts. This work is performed by the Commission on behalf of the respective townships co-operating to provide rural service. The cumulative results of the operation of the several systems of the Commission as set forth in this Report demonstrate a sound financial condition. The total investment of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario in power undertakings and hydro-electric railways is 8260,593,779.36, and the investment of the municipalities in distributing systems and other assets is $99,054,262.47, making in power and h\dro-electric raiKva>- undertakings a total investment of S359,648,041.83. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION ix Capital Ixvkstmf.nt The followinjj; statement shows tlie ca|)ilal iiuested in the respective SNstems and nninicipal undertakings: Niagara system $176,172,587.76 Dominion Power cS: Transmission Co. and Subsidiaries 21.489,434.83 Chats Kails developnient 2,137,230.18 Georgian Hay system 7,940,666.96 Eastern Ontario system (including Madawaska, Ottawa and Nipissing districts) 20,917,182.90 Thunder Hay system 17,645,796 31 Northern Ontario system — (Sudbury and Patricia districts) 3,297,543. 10 Hydro-electric railways 7,340,565 . 05 Otfice and service buildings, construction plant, inventories, etc 3,652,772. 27 $260,593,779.36 Municipalities' distributing systems and other assets (exclusive of $17,346,372.44 of municipal sinking fund equity in H.E.P.C. system)— all systems 99,054,262.47 $359,648,041.83 Revenue of Commission The Commission collected from the municipal utilities and other customers, a total sum of $28,555,998.47. This sum was appropriated to meet all the necessary fixed charges and to provide for the expenses of operation and adminis- tration. After meeting all charges there was left a net surplus of 81,262,456.60. The following statement summarizes the Commission's collections from municipal electric utilities and other power customers for the year and shows how the collections have been appropriated : Revenue from municipal electric utilities and other power customers $28,555,998.47 Appropriated as follows: Operation, maintenance, administration, interest and other current expenses $19,772,039.08 Reserves for sinking fund, renewals, contingencies and obsolescence provided in the vear 7,521,502.79 27,293,541.87 Net surplus credited to municipalities under cost contracts $1,262,456.60 Note. — The above figures do not include the revenue from the operation of the undertakings and companies which were acquired by the Commission from the Dominion Power and Transmission Company, Limited, as from January 1st, 1930. From this date the Com- mission has continued the operation thereof under the various company franchises, and a separate revenue and expense statement is shown for these. Rural Electrical Service During the past few years very substantial progress has been made in Ontario in the field of rural electrification. Practically all rural electrical service is now given through rural power districts which are operated directly by the Commission. There is now rather more than 812,665,000 invested in the rural power district systems established by the Commission. Towards this rural work the Ontario Government, pursuant to its policy of promoting the basic industry of agriculture, has, in the form of grants-in-aid, contributed 50 per cent of the costs of transmission lines and equipment, or some 86,300.000. A total of 6,726 miles of transmission lines have been constructed to date, of TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 which 1,891 miles were constructed during the past year, a mileage which exceeds that constructed in any former year. There are now more than 46,000 customers supplied in the rural power districts.

W), 439.11. The total surplus in the municipal books now amounts to S34,452,790,22 in addition to depreciation and sundry other reserves aggregating $14,460,043.25. The following is a brief summary of the principal operations relating to the several systems of the Commission: Niagara System The Niagara system embraces all the territory lying between Niagara Falls, Hamilton, and Toronto on the east, and Windsor, Sarnia, and Goderich on the west, served with electrical energy generated at plants on the Niagara river, supplemented with purchased power transmitted from the Gatineau river. There has been a steady increase in the number of consumers in this district and also in the load supplied by the Commission to the municipalities. Power supplied to the Commission by the Gatineau Power Company is received by the Commission at the interprovincial boundary on the Ottawa river and is transmitted over two 220,000-volt, steel-tower transmission lines to Leaside. The construction of the second circuit, on separate steel towers, was completed during the year and put into operation in order to assist in carrying the heavy winter load. A third circuit line from Leaside to Chats Falls is under con- struction. The arrangements already made will ensure for this system an adequate supply of power for a number of years ahead. In addition to the contracts for Gatineau river power, the Commission has entered into an agreement with the Chats Falls Power Company for the joint construction of a plant at Chats Falls on the Ottawa river having a capacity of 216,000 horsepower, the Com- mission is to purchase the Company's half of this power for a term of years. Power amounting to 250,000 horsepower developed on the St. Lawrence river will also be purchased from the Beauharnois Light, Heat and Power Company, and 125,000 horsepower to be delivered to the Commission as required from a plant on the Lievre River is contracted for from the James MacLaren Company, Limited. The tenth unit in the Queenston generating plant, which was arranged for in 1928 was placed in operation on July 4, 1930, and is available to assist in taking care of the winter load for 1930-31. The purchase of undertakings and companies from the Dominion Power and Transmission Company, Limited, has already been referred to. Since their acquisition by the Commission the operation of these properties has been con- tinued by the same stafT and on the same basis. The co-ordination of this system with the Niagara system will be carried out as may be found to be to the mutual advantage of both. The total capital invested by the Commission on behalf of the co-operating municipalities of the Niagara system is 8176,172,587.76, and the accumulated reserves for renewals, obsolescence, contingencies and sinking fund, aggregate xii TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 $43,069,032.12. This is exclusive of the undertakings and companies purchased from the Dominion Power and Transmission Company, Limited, for which separate statements of assets and liabiHties, and operations are presented. From the rural power districts of this system, which are directly operated by the Commission, the revenue received for the year from customers was $1,628,018.20, and the total cost of supplying the service was §1,506,037.27, leaving a balance of $121,980.93, which is placed to the credit of the districts in this system. The greater part of this surplus is returnable to the users in the form of reduced rates. With respect to the electric utilities of the various municipalities of the Niagara system, the actual cost of power during the year was 8827,049.01 less than the total amount collected at the interim rates, and this sum has been credited to the IVIunicipal Utilities. The total net surplus for the year from the operation of the various municipal electric utilities was $1,215,442.02, after providing $1,342,130.60 for depreciation and $1,643,661.24 for the retirement of instalment and sinking fund debentures. Nine municipal utilities had small deficits upon the year's operations, aggregating $1,886.09, whereas the total combined surplus of the other municipal electric utilities served by this system was $2,559,458.71. The total revenue of the municipal electric utilities served by this system was $24,831,168.71, an increase of $655,292.70. Georgian Bay System The Georgian Bay system comprises the area which includes the counties of Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, and Simcoe, and the northern portions of Huron, Wellington, and Ontario, also a large portion of the district of Muskoka, all of which areas are adjacent to Georgian Bay. Electrical energy is obtained from two developments on the Severn river, one on the Beaver river, and three on the Muskoka river, also from two frequency changer stations tied in with the Niagara system. The total capacity of this system exceeds 30,000 horsepower and all of the developments are tied together through a network of transmission lines. The 5,000-kv-a. frequency-changer set situated at Hanover was completed and placed in operation during the year. Power is delivered from the Niagara system at Kitchener over a 110,000-volt transmission line. During the year, negotiations were completed with the Public Futilities Consolidated Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the purchase of what is known as the "Foshay" interests in Bruce county, covering the Saugeen Electric Light and Power Company and the Walkerton Electric Light and Power Company. The Commission on behalf of the municipalities has assumed control and they now form part of the Georgian Bay system. The village of Windermere entered into an agreement for a supply of power on the standard cost basis. Notwithstanding the prevailing industrial depression, there was this year a considerable increase in the power sold throughout this system, due in part to a marked expansion in the rural districts. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION xiii The total capital invested by the Commission on behalf of the co-operating municipalities of the Cieorgian Bay sytem is $7,940,666.96, and the accumulated reserves for renewals, obsolescence, contingencies and sinking fund, aggregate $1,889,476.03. From the rural j)ower districts of this system, which are directly operated by the Commission, the revenue received for the year from customers was $109,933.71, and the total cost of supplying the service was $114,152.58, leaving a balance of $4,218.87, which has been charged to the districts in this system. With respect to the electric utilities of the various municipalities of the Georgian Bay system, the actual cost of power during the year was $20,805.38 less than the total amount collected at the interim rates, and this has been credited to the municipal utilities. The total net surplus for the year from the operation of the various municipal electric utilities was $40,419.66, after providing $54,452.40 for depreciation and $54,212.34 for the retirement of instalment and sinking fund debentures. Twelve municipal utilities had small deficits upon the year's operations, aggregating $13,337.99, whereas the total combined surplus of the other electric utilities served by this system was $53,757.65. The total revenue of the municipal electric utilities served by this system was $1,051,101.54, an increase of $6,465.06. Eastern Ontario System This system now serves the whole of that portion of Ontario east of the areas served by the Georgian Bay and Niagara systems. Consolidation of the Central Ontario and Trent systems with the St. Lawrence, Rideau and Ottawa systems, making up the Eastern Ontario system, was undertaken because of the necessary interchange of power supply and for other reasons which made it impracticable longer to operate these systems separately; final details for consolidation were completed during the year. The properties of the Galetta Electric Light & Power Company, and the Calabogie Power Company, known as the Madawaska system, have also been added to form part of this system. During the year the Commission completed the purchase of the Beach Rural Electric System lines serving rural customers in the townships of Matilda, Williamsburg, Mountain, Winchester and South Gower, and with this purchase agreement an arrangement was made for the purchase of a supply of 500 horse- power from the Beach Estate at Iroquois, which power is consolidated with the Eastern Ontario system supplies and is used to supply the rural lines purchased from the Beach Rural Electric System, Limited. The Commission disposed of the local distribution systems, forming part of the Central Ontario district properties in the towns of Brighton, Port Hope and Napanee. These properties were purchased by the respective municipalities and agreements were entered into for a supply of power on the standard cost basis. The municipalities of Madoc and Stirling whose fixed rate contracts for power expired December 31, 1929, also entered into agreements for power supply on the standard cost basis. The village of Cardinal also entered into an agreement for a supply of power from this system during the year. The Ottawa district embraces the city of Ottawa, the village of Richmond, and the Nepean rural power district. The city of Ottawa "Hydro" system has xiv TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 continued the steady growth experienced in other years. There has also been much expansion in the rural district. During the year the city has received an augmented supply of power from the Commission through the new high-tension station constructed jointly by the Provincial Commission and the Ottawa Hydro Commission. This power is taken at 110,000 volts from the supply made available under the contract with the Gatineau Power Company. Reflecting the general industrial depression the load requirements of the Eastern Ontario system were slightly lower than was anticipated. The normal yearly increment of 6,000 horsepower under the contract with the Gatineau Power Company, together with power generated by the Commission has provided ample power for all the customers of this system. The total capital invested by the Commission on behalf of the co-operating municipalities of the Eastern Ontario system is $20,917,182.90, and the accumulated reserves for renewals, obsolescence, contingencies and sinking fund aggregate 84,123,718.36. From the rural power districts of this system, which are directly operated by the Commission, the revenue received for the year from customers was 8260,299.70, and the total cost of supplying the service was 8244,633.47, leaving a balance of $15,666.23, which is placed to the credit of the districts in this system. The greater part of this surplus is returnable to the users in the form of reduced rates. With respect to the electric utilities of the various municipalities of the Eastern Ontario system, the actual cost of power during the year was $58,783.30 less than the total amount collected at the interim rates and this has been credited to the municipal utilities. The total net surplus for the year from the operation of the various municipal electric utiltities was $373,651.95, after providing $143,712.83 for depreciation and $108,377.27 for the retirement of instalment and sinking fund debentures. Three municipal utilities had small deficits upon the year's operations, aggregating $1,727.35, whereas the total combined surplus of the other electric utilities served by this system was $375,379.30. The total revenue of the municipal electric utilities served by this system was $2,887,135.45, an increase of $385,102.53. Thunder Bay System The Thunder Bay system comprises that portion of the district of Thunder Bay adjacent to Lake Superior, and includes the lake-head cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, and the village of Nipigon. In addition to supplying electrical service in the three municipalities, power is supplied chiefly for grain elevators and pulp and paper mills. Due to industrial depression which has largely affected these two industries this system has not made as good a showing as it would have done had trade conditions been normal. In spite of this handicap, however, the showing for the year has been satisfactory. The first unit of the new Alexander development, situated one and one- half miles below Cameron Falls, was placed in operation for the first time during the year, and the entire development is now about 98 per cent complete. As soon as the other two units are completed and placed in operation an additional 54,000 horsepower will be made available, which, together with the Cameron 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION xv Falls development, will make available a total capacity of 129,000 horsepower for this system. The Commission has, in the Thunder Bay system, a total investment of $17,645,796.31, and accumulated reserves for renewals, contingencies, and sinking fund aggregate $2,165,992.31. The total revenue collected b>- the Commission for power provided for the municipalities and sold to private companies connected to this system was $1,420,236.89, which exceeded the cost of power supplied by 82,665.87, which sum has been credited to the three municipalities operating under cost contracts in this district. The total revenue of the municipal electric utilities in this system was $1,472,414.49. The three municipalities served by this system operated with a net surplus of $271,180.88, after providing depreciation to the extent of $34,695.85 and 821,810.77 for the retirement of debentures. Northern Oxt.\rio System In this system are grouped three districts, at present independent, w^hich serve portions of northern Ontario. The Nipissing district, formerly known as the Nipissing system, has been operated by the Commission for a number of years; the Sudbury district was formerly served by the Wahnapitae Power Company recently acquired by the Commission, and the Patricia district is a new district recently established. Nipissing District This district includes the city of North Bay, the town of Powassan, and the villages of Callander and Nipissing, all of which lie immediately east of lake Nipissing. Power is obtained from three hydro-electric developments on the South river, namely, Nipissing, Bingham Chute and Elliott Chute. Sudbury District This district comprises the southern portions of the district of Algoma, Sudbury, and Nipissing, and is at present supplied with power from three developments on the Wahnapitae river, recently purchased by the Commission from the Wahnapitae Power Company. A special investigation was made covering the delivery of a large block of power to this district for the mining industry, and a contract was finally executed between the Ontario Powder Service Corporation and the Commission, covering a supply of 100,000 horsepower from a development at Abitibi Canyon on the Abitibi river about fifty miles north of Cochrane. The first delivery of this power will be made during the latter part of next year. Patricia District Power is served from a development at Ear Falls at the foot of Lac Seul, the present capacity of which is 5,000 horsepower. Power was delivered for the first time during the year to The Howey Gold Mines Limited, which is the only customer in this district at the present time, but a large block of power is available for any mining or other industry desiring same, and it is expected that this development will prove to be of great service to the district. xvi TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 The Annual Report The Table of Contents, pages xxi and xxii, conveys a good understanding of the scope of the matters dealt with in the Report, to which there is also a comprehensive Index. To those not conversant with the Commission's Reports the following notes will be useful. In Section II. pages 6 to 55, dealing with the Operation of the Systems, are a number of interesting diagrams showing, graphically, the increase in the loads on the various systems. Tables are also presented showing the amounts of power taken by the various municipalities during the past three years. The rural distribution work of the Commission has proved of widespread interest and special reference to this is made in Section III, on pages 64 to 79. The power distributed to rural districts is, and possibly must always be, but a relatively small proportion of the power distributed by the Commission. The supplying of electrical service in rural areas, and especially on the farm, has, however, been of great economic benefit to Ontario. The Provincial Government grants-in-aid to this work have been of value to agricultural activities, and have assisted the Commission to extend transmission lines to many areas. In Section IV, V and YI will be found information respecting progress of work on new power developments and on transmission system extensions, together with photographic illustrations. About three-fifths of the Report is devoted to statistical, financial data which are presented in two Sections, IX and X. Section IX presents in summary form the financial statements relating to the operations of the Commission chiefly in the generation, transformation and transmission of electrical energy to the co-operating municipalities. It is introduced by an important explanatory statement which appears on page 137 to 141, to which special reference should be made. Section X presents in summary form the financial statements relating to the operations of the municipalities in the localized distribution of electrical energy to consumers. It also contains details of the costs of electrical energy to consumers in the various municipalities and tabular statements of the rates in force which have produced these costs. An explanation of the various tables and statements is given at the commencement of this Section on pages 255-257; and a special introduction to Statement "D," which relates to the cost of electrical service in Ontario, together with a diagram, appears on pages 366 to 369. In its Annual Reports the Commission aims to present a comprehensive statement respecting the activities of the whole undertaking under its adminis- tration. Explanatory statements descriptive of the operations of the Com- mission in various branches of its work are suitably placed throughout the Report in order that the citizens of the Province may be kept fully informed upon the working-out of the Commission's policies. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION xvii In conclusion, I should like to refer to the retirement from the Chairmanship of the Commission of Mr. ( harlcs A. Magrath. As may be recalled, Mr. Magrath was appointed to the Chairmanship on September 12, 1925, and his retirement became effective on February 6, 19.S1. During his tenure of office, Mr. Magrath in devoting himself to the general administrative work of the Commission gave special attention to strengthening the Commission's position with respect to its financial reserves, but perhaps the outstanding effort which he put forth was in connection with the provision for future supplies of electrical energ\' to meet the needs of Ontario municipalities. All sources of possible supply were reviewed. The production of additional hydro-electric power from water powers owned by the Province was most carefully considered and furthered where\er economicalK- possible; definite attention was given to the desirability or otherwise of developing steam-electric power, and the possibilities of purchasing power in large blocks to be supplied from sites owned or controlled by private organizations were examined. There are two main sources of power from international waters in which the Province possesses a definite but not a sole interest — the Niagara and the St. Lawrence rivers, and there is also the inter-provincial Ottawa river. Mr. Magrath's experience in connection with matters before the International Joint Commission acquainted him with the fact that programmes for the development or utilization of international waters have sometimes had to proceed much more slowly than might superficially have been expected from preliminary favourable circumstances. To the solving of problems arising in connection with efi"orts to expedite development of these power sources, Mr. Magrath brought special experience. For more than ten years the problem of the development of the St. Lawrence river for navigation and power has been the subject of special investigation and effort by the two Federal Governments concerned, but as yet no plan of development has been finally determined upon and, consequently, the Commission has never received sufficient authority to enable it to proceed with the development of Ontario's share of the St. Lawrence river power. Moreover, the Commission had to reckon with the fact that the evidence of engineers has been that from five to eight years would be required to complete such a development as the St. Lawrence. Consequently, even were the St. Lawrence development commenced, constructional work and preliminaries incident thereto might occupy up to eight years before the H\dro-Electric Power Commission could reasonably hope to obtain its full share of St. Lawrence power, and therefore no hope for an early supply of power from this source could be entertained. With respect to power at Niagara: In 1926, a Special International Niagara Board was appointed to determine how the erosion of Niagara Falls could be arrested, how the preservation of their scenic beauty could best be effected, and what, if any, waters additional to those allotted under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909-10 could be diverted either temporarily or permanently for further power development. Consequent upon the Report which this Board made, a proposed Treaty was drawn up by representatives from both the countries concerned providing for an additional diversion of water for power from Niagara, but the proposed measure was rejected by the United States xviii TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Senate in January, 1931. In view of the uncertainty respecting the outcome of these negotiations, the Commission was not justified in counting upon Niagara waters as a source of additional power supply in the near future. With regard to the Ottawa river, until recently, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission was unable to proceed in Ontario because claims made under the Charter of the Georgian Bay Canal Company were not definitely cleared away until this Charter was terminated by Federal action in 1927. Confronted with such circumstances and restrictions — the bearing of which upon the Commission's work was appreciated by no one more clearly than by Mr. Magrath — the Commission believed that the best means of providing adequate power supplies for the immediate future consisted in purchasing power in large blocks at the best prices possible. After comprehensive survey of the various possibilities, the Commission in 1926 and subsequent years consummated several contracts for purchased power. These purchases consist of 260,000 horsepower from the Gatineau Power Company; a further contract covering an additional 60,000 horsepower also from the Gatineau; 250,000 horsepower from the Beauharnois development being made in Quebec on the St. Lawrence river; 125,000 horsepower from the Maclaren development on the Lievre river, also in Quebec; 96,000 horsepower from the Quebec portion of the Chats Falls development on the Ottawa river; and 100,000 horsepower to be developed at the Abitibi Canyon on the Abitibi river in Ontario. The Commission will also have 96,000 horsepower from its own portion of the development at Chats Falls. These provisions for power, together with the output of the Commission's existing generating plants, will aggregate in all some 2,000,000 horsepower by 1937. Throughout the important considerations involved in these transactions, Mr. Magrath's wide business experience, his foresight, and his care to ensure not only that the needs of the municipalities of Ontario were provided for, but also that the interests of the municipalities were safeguarded, were features which carried forward the Commission's policy under his Chairmanship, and will be remembered by his colleagues with gratitude. The work covered by this Report was performed under the Chairmanship of Mr. Magrath and it affords me much pleasure on behalf of my fellow-commissioner, Mr. Maguire, and on my own behalf to bear testimony here to the zealous and careful manner in which Mr. Magrath devoted himself to his public trust and to testify also to the sympathetic and painstaking manner in which he co- operated with his colleagues to deal satisfactorily with all issues which concerned the Commission's welfare.

Rural Power Lines Right-of-Way During the year extensive construction work has been carried on in different parts of the Province on rural power lines. The principal rural power districts in which work of this nature has been proceeded with are as follows: Apple Hill, AUiston, Alexandria, Aylmer, Ayr, Bond Lake, Belleville, Brockville, Baden, Barrie, Beamsville, Beaumaris, Bowmanville, Brigden, Bothwell, Brighton, Brant, Clinton, Caledonia, Cobourg, Chesterville, Colborne, Creemore, Dorchester, Drumbo, Elora, Elmvale, Gait, Hawkestone, Innisfil, Ingersoll, Kingsville, Kingston, London, Maxville, Martintown, Mariposa, Millbrook, Merlin, Nepean, Napanee, Newcastle, Newmarket, Oshawa, Peterborough, Port Hope, Prescott, Pickering, Port Perry, Ridgetown, St. Marys, St. Jacobs Smiths F'alls, Stirling, Stratford, Sparrow Lake, Simcoe, Strathroy, Trenton, Thamesville, Thornton, Uxbridge, Utterson, Welland, Woodbridge, Wellington, Waterford, Walsingham, Woodstock. In this connection it was necessary to secure right-of-way in many cases where the lines could not be located on public roads, as well as to settle for tree-trimming rights in a number of cases, and for claims for damages to fences and crops where it was found expedient to locate the lines on private property. Arrangements also had to be made with the Department of Public Highways, as well as county and municipal authorities having control of the various roads upon which this work was carried on. Low-Tension Lines The number of low-tension lines under construction during the year exceeded that of the previous year by nearly one hundred per cent. The construction of these lines also rendered it necessary to secure the usual tree-trimming rights, pole rights, settlements for anchors, and damage claims. The following list shows the various lines on which work of this nature was carried on during the year: Todmorden Junction to Brinlock. Guelph to Georgetown. Hanover Station to Walkerton Junction. Tara to Southampton. Saugeen Junction to Derby Mills Junction. Gravenhurst Junction to Kihvorthy Junction. High Falls to Balderson Station. Smiths Falls to Rideau Junction.

Sites for Operators' Residences Purchases of the necessary land have been completed in the following cases: Trout Lake, Nipigon, Cloyne, Hanover, White. Flooding Rights The purchase of lands to be flooded in connection with power development at Trethewey Falls on the Muskoka river, and at Elliott Chute on the South river, has been practically completed. Similar purchases have been made of lands adjacent to the Ottawa river, in connection with the development at Chats Falls, and also on lake Wanapitei in connection with the development at that point. In connection with this last-mentioned development it was necessary to secure settlements for a substantial number of damage claims which had been incurred in connection with the raising of the water in the lake. With one or two exceptions these claims have been disposed of. Gatineau High-Tension Lines The acquisition of tower easements for the second circuit of the Gatineau power lines has, with the exception of a few outstanding claims, been completed. The right-of-way for the third Gatineau line westerly from the Ottawa river to a point near Cooper in Hastings county has been nearly all secured. The territory through which this line passes is largely bush and rough land. The right-of-way department has had charge of the clearing of the right-of-way for this line, and this work also has been nearly finished. The work of clearing was mostly let to residents along the line, it having been found that better service is secured in this way. The third and fourth circuits of the Gatineau lines are now being laid out, and in the township of Scarborough a substantial portion of the necessary right-of-way has been secured. The work of securing the remainder of this right-of-way will be proceeded with immediately upon the completion of the survey work. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 5 Beauharnois High-Tension Line A lar^e amount of preliminary work has been performed in connection with the layout of this line, and in this case also the work of securing easements for the right-of-way will he proceeded with upon completion of the surveys. Hanover- Kitchener High-Tension Line The work of securing the right-of-way for this line has been completed. General An increased number of leases for offices for rural power districts and electrical inspection work have been made with the owners of the various proper- ties concerned. A number of licenses have been obtained from the Dominion and Provincial Governments for the right to erect transmission lines across navigable waters. A number of parcels of property no longer required by the Commission have been disposed of. The continued activity of the Department of Public Highways in widening and otherwise improving many of the highways throughout the Province has necessitated the relocation of many of the Commission's lines previously placed on these roads. In all cases satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Highways Department. Similar comments also apply to many of what are known as county roads throughout the Province which are under the control of the \arious counties. The widening of the provincial highway west of the Humber river leading into the city of Toronto rendered it necessary to transfer to the Highways Department a considerable strip of land owned by the Commission in that localitv. TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 SECTION II OPERATION OF THE SYSTEMS The outstanding feature of the year's operation was the continuation of the load at higher figures than ever before, in spite of the general industrial depression. The growth of load during the fiscal year 1928-29 was abnormally large, as shown in last year's Report, amounting to 23 per cent, on the total load, which is equivalent to the normal increase for two years instead of one. That increase appeared to be due to the great industrial activity prevailing at that time and to a wide-spread condition of prosperity throughout the Province. The use of electricity for power in factories and for lighting and domestic services in private homes throughout the greater part of the Province undoubtedly reflects business conditions, and records of the consumption of electricity are used generally by statisticians as an index for this purpose. While the heavy consumption of electricity during the year 1928-29 appeared to be the natural result of the prosperous conditions then prevailing, it is remarkable that during the past year of 1929-30, which has been regarded generally as one of industrial depression, the consumption of electricity remained at the high figure set in the previous year, with a further slight increase. The only evident effect of the depression on the load appears in the small ratio of the increase in the load this year as compared with ratios for previous years. The effect of the depression was most marked in the Niagara system, apparently due to a decrease in the power used by large chemical and metal- lurgical plants near Niagara Falls. These plants, as noted in last year's Report, were responsible for a part of the abnormal increase in the total load during 1928-29, and decrease in the load of these plants had the opposite effect on the present year's figures. While the maximum load on the Niagara system was slightly greater during 1929-30 than during the previous year, the total number of kilowatt-hours shows a slight decrease, amounting to one-half-of-one per cent. (Export power is excluded in all cases.) On all other systems there was an increase in both the maximum load and the total kilowatt-hours used. On the Georgian Bay system and in the Ottawa district this increase of load approached the figures for an ordinary year, but on the other systems the rate of growth was less than the average. The lack of sufficient water reduced the output of some of the Commission's plants, the rainfall during summer months being much below normal in parts of the Province, and 1928-29 also having been a dry season the storage waters and 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 7 stream flow were greatly reduced during the latter part of the year 1929 and during the summer of 1930. In the section of this Report dealing with water conditions in the Eastern Ontario system a graph is given showing precipitation in the central part of the Province according to reports from several stations of the Government Meteorological department, and a similar graph for 1928-29 appeared in last year's Report. From these it will be noted how far below normal the precii)itation has been during the summer months of the past two years. The effect of the dry summer season was felt most severely in the Nipissing district where restrictions had to be placed on the load toward the end of 1929, and in the Georgian Bay system where power had to be purchased from steam plants and an increased supply transferred from the Niagara system. The effect of the dry season was less in the Central Ontario and Rideau districts, and because of power available under the Gatineau contract no difficulty was experienced in supplying the loads. Had power not been available under the Gatineau contract, load restrictions would have been necessary in the Central Ontario district during November and December, 1929, and again in September and October, 1930. In the Madawaska district no load restrictions have been necessary, although no outside source of supply was available, but the storage waters have been seriously depleted so that at the end of the fiscal year it appears probable power will have to be brought into the district from some outside source. The Thunder Bay System plants, the plant at Ear Falls, and the plants in the Sudbury district were not similarly affected, the distribution of rain being somewhat different in these districts and the plants less directly dependent on the precipi- tation. On the Thunder Bay system no load restrictions were necessary on account of the large storage area in lake Nipigon, but care had to be used in regulating the flow to avoid any wastage, the storage being reduced to the lowest point in some years. In the Sudbury district one of the generating stations suffered some damage through excessive rainfall and flooding in June. The plants on the Niagara river are independent of rainfall, the restrictions on the water used there arising out of international treaties. However, advantage was taken of the power available under the Gatineau contract to shut down generators and carry out an extensive program of maintenance work, such as the con- creting of the third pipe line at the Ontario Power plant. This resulted in some reduction of the total kilowatt-hours generated during the year, the peak load carried being about the same. In the Nipissing district the completion of the Elliott Chute generating station in the fall of 1929, w'ith a normal capacity of 2,400 horsepower, prevented the shortage of power from becoming as severe as would otherwise have been the case. There are now three hydro-electric generating plants on this system with a normal capacity of 5,900 horsepower, as compared with one hydro-electric plant of 2,300 horsepower when the system was taken over by the Commission. The normal capacity of the three plants, 5,900 horsepower, is ample to carry the load, which amounted to 3,820 horsepower, but as all three plants are depen- dent on the flow in the South river, any abnormal reduction of flow reduces the actual capacity available at all plants. This is what occurred at the begin- ning of the past fiscal year of 1929-30, due to the abnormally dry summer. In order to safeguard the system against such temporary load restrictions in future, arrangements are being made for a supply of power from an outside source which will not be dependent on the flow in the South river. • On the Georgian Bay system the construction of a frequency-changer station at Hanover, with a rated capacity of 5,000 kw. at 80 per cent, power 8 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 factor, has made possible the transfer of over 7,000 horsepower from the Niagara system, thus affording protection to the Georgian Bay system against shortage of power due to abnormally dry seasons in that district. As the number of plants on the Georgian Bay system is larger than in the Nipissing district, and as they are situated on different rivers and supplied from independent storage areas, they are not as likely to be all affected at the same time by any shortage of water. The acquisition of the plants and lines in Bruce county, following bank- ruptcy of the previous owners, added some new territory and three small hydro- electric generating plants to the Georgian Bay system. Due to lack of meters, the output of these plants is not included in the table of power generated, and the load of the municipalities supplied is not included in the figures for the Georgian Bay system. The two plants at Bala also lack meters, so that figures for their output is not included in the table published herein. The totals are incomplete to this extent, but the percentage of error on the total is small, and load conditions are better than shown to this slight extent. Arrangements are being made to obtain more complete measurement of the load generated at these smaller plants. Forestry Division A new section has been added to the Operating department, known as the Forestry division, with the object of preserving trees along public highways where they approach or come in contact with the power lines of the Commission. Maintenance of an uninterrupted power supply necessitates the branches being kept pruned back from the wires, and the Commission has always endeavored to carry out such work with a minimum of damage to the trees. Line men were given special instructions to preserve the appearance of the trees, but the problem of reconciling the conflicting interests of the trees and the wires is often difficult, requiring a knowledge of forestry as well as of line work. The Commission has employed from time to time various tree experts, and engaged the services of institutions which make a speciality of tree trimming. The volume of this work has become so great that this year a special Forestry division has been formed in charge of men who have had special training in the scientific pruning and care of trees. A number of men have been employed, some being men with previous experience in forestry work and some linemen familiar with the work necessary to protect lines. A special training camp was opened where these men were given instructions and practical demonstrations by experts. These squads, under qualified foremen, are now employed in various localities, going over the power lines systematically in order that the beauty and life of the trees along our highways may be preserved to the fullest extent possible. While these men are employed as a part of the Operating department on the numerous power lines throughout the Province, they are also used as occasion requires for tree trimming along rural lines or on new construction, and in future will be available on call for such municipalities as desire the benefit of their services on streets within the municipal boundaries. Meter Division The meter section of the Operating department has been acti\e during the year, making tests of equipment, checking and maintaining the graphic meters used on large power loads, testing relays and carrying out investigations of various problems requiring special technical training. This section, which has been in 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 9 existence for several \ears, is com[)()sed of electrical enj^ineers who have specialized in the problems connected with measuring electricity and in the allied subject of relays. Due to the enormous capacity now connected to the Commission's lines, almost unlimited power might be fed into any equipment or line which breaks down in service if means were not provided for almost instantly cutting off the suppJN' of electricity to the defective equipment. In such cases not only would the defective equipment be burned out by the rush of current but the disturbance and possible damage would extend back through all intervening ecjuipment to the generators at the source of supply, and service might be inter- rupted over a large area or on the whole system. The importance of the instan- taneous automatic opening of the proper switches has contantly increased with the increase in the generator capacity and number of consumers. In order that the relays which control the numerous switches shall function properly and promptU', the inspectors of the meter section carry out a regular system of inspection, and make the necessary adjustments to take care of constantly changing load conditions. The success of their work is evidenced by the past year's freedom from serious electrical damage to equipment, and in the high grade of service given to consumers generally. In addition to the meter and relay inspectors stationed at v^arious points, or with headquarters at Toronto, meter shops are maintained at Toronto, Niagara Falls and Belleville. At these shops repairs and alterations are made to the meters and relays, and new equipment designed and constructed to meet special conditions. The engineers of the meter staff are frequently called upon to deal with intricate problems associated with other branches of the Commission's work, involving investigations to determine accurately the voltage or current conditions and the performance of apparatus. They are also frequently consulted by the municipalities on matters connected with meters and relays, and are available to the municipalities on call for investigation of load conditions which require either special metering equipment or specially trained engineers. The meter shop at Niagara Falls deals with many problems connected with the measurement of the large amounts of power generated at the Commis- sion's plants there, which often demand the invention or designing of special apparatus to meet conditions which are outside of the commercial field covered by the manufacturers of electrical equipment. Much work has been done in these shops in designing meters for combining and recording at one point the load being delivered at a number of points. During the past year, several special meters of this type were constructed and supplied to various power plants. Electrolysis action having eaten holes in the lead sheaths of cables between the Ontario Power plant and Niagara station, the engineers of the meter shop made a study of conditions to determine the cause, and by altering ground connections and insulating certain joints were able to prevent further electrolysis. The underground telephone cable between Queenston and the Ontario Power plant, which is used for both telephone communication and metering purposes, is subject to tremendously steep voltage gradients in the ground w- henever an insulator flashes over on the nearby 60,000-volt power line. This causes current to flow, from the lead sheath to the copper telephone conductors inside, near the flash-over, and from the copper back to the lead at some point more distant. The result has been a number of holes in the lead sheath allowing the telephone conductor to become wet, and every year it is necessary to repair this cable to TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 TOTAL POWER GENERATED AND HYDRO-ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANTS Plant Normal operating capacity Oct. 31, 1930 horsepower Peak load during fiscal vear 1929-1930 horsepower Total output during fiscal vear 1929-1930 kilowatt-hours Niagara: Queenston Plant Niagara: "Ontario Power" Plant.

The ordinary methods of locating faults do not indicate with sufficient exactness the point at which the cable should be dug up and cut open for repair. The meter staff has developed a method for this work which locates the fault to within one-half inch before the cable is sawed open. Another illustration of the special work carried out by this department occurred in connection with a request from an oil company to investi- gate a dangerous sparking noticed at the metal hose connections between a gasoline tank steamer and the land tank pipe flanges. The meter inspector discovered, on investigation, that the cause was current returning in the ground from an electric railway system, and although the voltage at the coupling was scarcely noticeable^ — less than one volt maximum — the current ran up to 30 amperes when the circuit was closed by making gasoline hose connections. A system of heavy by-pass cable, with switches located away from the gasoline fumes, and certain insulating precautions, eliminated the sparking. Aside from work of this special nature the meter staff carries out the regular routine of testing the numerous meters and relays at the plants in the district. 193 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 11 PURCHASED -ALL SYSTEMS POWER PURCHASED I Man I Contract amount horsepower Peak horsepower Total purchased kilowatt-hours Canadian Niagara Power Co (iatineau Power Co. 25 cycle Orillia Water, Light «!v Power Commission! .

NIAGARA SYSTEM Queenston Generating Station The operation of this plant was very satisfactory throughout the year. There were but two failures of equipment. On March 31, 1930, the upper guide bearing on No. 8 unit burned out, necessitating repairs on the shaft and bearing, which were completed and the unit returned to service on May 1, 1930. On December 13, 1929, a transformer in No. 2 bank, rated at 15,000 kv-a. 63,500/12,000 volts, failed. This unit was repaired and returned to service on May 11, 1930. The installation of No. 10 unit was completed and the machine placed in operation on July 4, 1930. The permanent wall at the north end of the plant has been completed and the final finishing touches are being carried out.

To assist in carrying the heavy loads of No\'ember and December, 1929, the Owen Sound steam plant and Canadian Pacific Railway Company's steam plant at Port McNicoll were operated in parallel with the Commission's generat- ing stations. This steam-generated power was of considerable assistance in carrying the system load during the fall period when the storage water was much depleted. The shortage of water available for power plant operation was relieved by a thaw in January. The sources of power supply for this system were augmented during the past year by the addition of the Hanover frequency changer station which is supplied over a 110,000-volt line from Kitchener station on the Niagara system. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 25 This station makes power from Niagara Ealls available for use on the Georgian Bay system, up to the capacity of the equipment installed. The frequency changer set has a normal rating of 5,000 kv-a., but it was operated at somewhat heavier loads in the fall of 1029 to assist in the conservation of storage water. This station was placed in service September 26, 1930, and normally operates in parallel with the total system.

In the diagram the load for the Muskoka district is not included until November, 1924. Details respecting this load for preceding years are given in earlier Annual Reports. The load of the new district at Bala is not included in above graph, records being incomplete. A new" 22,000-volt line was constructed from Kilsyth to Tara, and continued on to Southampton. Tara was formerly served by a 4,000-volt line from Kilsyth, but a transformer station of 75-kv-a. capacity was erected at Tara which is now served directly from the new 22,000-volt line. The 4,000-volt line between Kilsyth and Tara stations now serves rural load, and can be used in emergencies as a low-tension tie line. 26 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 A new distributing station was also erected at Southampton, with a trans- former capacity of 300 kv-a., and the Southampton municipal load was carried by the Eugenia district, commencing in July. A tie line was erected from Saugeen junction (on the Hanover to Chesley 22,000-volt line) to Derby Mills junction (on the Kilsyth to Tara 22,000-volt line). This forms a loop on the 22,000-volt lines, including Kilsyth junction, Derby Mills junction, Hanover frequency changer station and Eugenia power house, with two sources of power supply, which should tend towards continuity of service and more flexible operation of the north and west portions of the system. A tie line was also erected between the Big Chute powerhouse and the two generating plants at Bala, by way of Ragged rapids on the Muskosh river. A transformer station of 450-kv-a. capacity was erected at Bala, and additional power was supplied to the Bala district from the Big Chute over this tie line. Two auto-transformers with a total capacity of 3,000 kv-a. were installed at Eugenia power house on the Severn-Eugenia tie line to control the voltage of the power received from the Severn district. A new 22,000-volt line was built from Greenbank south to Uxbridge and Port Perry, replacing the 4,000-volt lines, and transformer stations of 300-kv-a. capacity were erected at both these towns. Greenbank step-down station was removed from service. Other new transformer stations erected during the year were: — Midhurst 75 kv a., Utterson 300 kv-a., Fergusonvale 75 kv-a., and Painswick 300 kv-a. Transformer capacity was increased at Chesley distributing station from 450 kv-a. to 750 kv-a.; at Kirkfield from 225 kv-a. to 450 kv-a.; at Innisfil from 100 kv-a. to 450 kv-a., and service changed from 4,600-volt single-phase to 8,000- volt, 3-phase. An additional bank of 3,000-kv-a. capacity was installed at Barrie, and connected 3-phase, 4-wire, 4,000-volt on the low tension side. Failures occurred in the 1,500-kv-a. auto-transformer at Wasdells, in one transformer of a three-phase bank at Penetang, and in one transformer of a three-phase bank at Meaford. These transformers were all sent to the manu- facturer for repairs and were then returned to service. The line entrance structure was rebuilt at Big Chute, replacing certain parts which had become defective through length of service. A new timber floor was laid on the deck of the headworks, and new steel trash racks provided to replace old wood racks. New stop logs at the head of the canal were provided. Extensive repairs were made to the concrete of the Eugenia dam, and also to the concrete in the Wasdells power house and dam, the concrete in both cases having shown signs of disintegration. A failure occurred in the armature winding of the No. 2 generator at Bala power house in July, and defective coils were replaced. A new draft tube and curb ring for turbine were ordered for the No. 2 power house at Bala owing to the old draft tube showing defects, and the installa- tion of the new parts was under way at the end of the fiscal year. Highway alterations at numerous points on the various divisions made it necessary to erect a number of detours and to relocate and rebuild lines to con- form with new highway locations. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 27 Extra pole guying was carried out on a number of line sections which have, in the past, been most affected by storms. A number of line switches of modern design were erected in the Severn, Eugenia and Wasdells districts, replacing obsolete switches. The usual program of line maintenance was carried out, which included pole treatment with preservative, insulator testing and replacement, straightening poles, pulling up guys, pole stubbing and tree trimming. Yearly inspection and routine maintenance on plant equipment was carried out by maintenance men at all plants, with special adjustment at several plants where recjuired. The plants and lines of the Public Utilities Consolidated Corporation in Bruce county, with the exception of a Diesel engine standby plant, were taken over by the Commission in September, 1930. This section will be known as the Bruce district of the Georgian Bay system. To permit the removal of the Diesel engine by the owners and protect service to the customers, alterations were made at Southampton generating station and Southampton distributing station to provide service to the munici- pality of Port Elgin from the Eugenia lines, while the service to Wiarton and Hepworth was provided by one machine at Southampton hydraulic plant and the machine at Sauble Falls hydraulic plant. A short 22,000-volt line was built from the line serving Kincardine to the Walkerton generating station, and a 750-kv-a. transformer station erected to step the line voltage down to the generator voltage of the power house. This tie line is to protect the service to Walkerton and district in case of water shortage at Walkerton power house.

The combining of these systems has proved to be a decided betterment in respect of administration and operation, particularly so in the case of operation, in that all generated and pur- chased power is, with slight exception, now directly under the control of a central load despatcher, and the economic advantages are fully realized in the transfer of surplus and emergency power between the various districts forming the system. It might be well to note here that the interchange of power among these districts was made possible by the construction during the years 1928 and 1929 of a high tension line network extending to Ottawa, Smiths Falls, Brockville and Kingston. These lines do not extend as yet to the Madawaska district, and as there is no physical connection between that district and the balance of the Eastern Ontario system, the operation of the Madawaska district was carried on separately. Operating conditions generally on the Eastern Ontario system have been satisfactory throughout the fiscal year. The demand for power has again shown an increase, which compares very favourably with the average increase of pre- vious years, and is especially gratifying in view of the prevailing general business depression. For the purpose of comparison, a graph is shown herein which clearly illustrates the load growth on this system. This graph indicates the monthly 20 minute composite peak loads, and is not the sum of the individual district peaks which have appeared in previous issues of this Report. During the year additional transformer capacity was installed at several of the transformer stations. The usual program of station and line maintenance was carried out. Appearances were improved at a number of transformer stations by painting the structures, levelling and grading the land and planting shrubs. A timber dam was built at Bells rapids for the purpose of conserving water on Bark lake for use at Calabogie generating station during low stream flow- periods on the Madawaska river. Extensions were made to the 44,000-volt transmission lines for the purpose of supplying power to the Kingston elevators and the Lower Lakes Terminal elevators at Prescott. A single-circuit, 33, 000-volt wood-pole line was constructed between Calabogie generating station and Burnstown, a distance of nine miles. The No. 4 A.C.S.R. conductors on the 33, 000-volt line between Burnstown and Arnprior were replaced with 4/0 A.C.S.R. conductors. A single-circuit 33, 000-volt wood-pole line was built from Arnprior to Chats Falls, a distance of approximately twelve miles, for the purpose of supplying power during the construction of the large power development at that point. Telephone communication with the Madawaska district was established by means of looping the main Toronto-Ottawa telephone line into the Galetta generating station, at which point a small switchboard was installed.

At Ottawa a new transformer station, having a capacity of 9,000 kv-a., was first made alive on October 28, 1929, and was ready for regular service November 1. This station is at present suppUed by one 110,000-volt circuit which taps the main Hne between Ottawa and Smiths Falls. A second 110,000- volt circuit is almost completed and will be placed in service at an early date. This station was built for the purpose of providing a supply of Gatineau power to meet the increasing load demand in the city of Ottawa and the immediate district. At the Rideau District temporary station, which is located on the Smiths Falls high-tension transformer station site, the 300 kv-a. transformer was re- placed with a 1,500 kv-a. 3-phase transformer which was placed in service on July 22. This transformer is supplied with power from the main 4,160-volt bus, steps the voltage up to 26,400 volts, and feeds into the 26,400-volt network at a nearby point. This makes power available from the Gatineau river and 32 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 from other districts in the Eastern Ontario system, augmenting the Rideau district's own supply. At Cataraqui a new transformer station, having a capacity of 300 kv-a., was placed in service on January 5, supplying power to the Kingston rural power district. At Cardinal a new outdoor transformer station of 300 kv-a. capacity was placed in service July 5, supplying power to the village of Cardinal and rural customers in the district. At Consecon a 100 kv-a. transformer station was built and placed in service on June 28 for the purpose of supplying power to the Wellington rural power district. At the Howard Smith Paper Company's station near Cornwall, extensive improvements were carried out. In order to accommodate additional trans- former capacity, an outdoor high-tension structure was added to the station. Two additional outdoor transformers, having a total capacity of 4,500 kv-a., together with the necessary relays and metering equipment, were installed and placed in service on June 29. Four air circuit-breakers were installed, two replacing the indoor high-tension transformer bank oil-breakers, and two on the secondaries of the new outdoor transformers. A storage battery was installed, replacing the dry cell batteries, as a source of tripping potential for the automatic circuit-breakers. At Brockville one of the 750 kv-a. transformers was replaced by a 1,500 kv-a. transformer, bringing the total capacity of this station to 2,250 kv-a. The high- tension bus was extended to accommodate the new transformer. The low- tension bus was rebuilt. One of the 300-ampere transformer oil-breakers was replaced with a 600-ampere oil-breaker. The dry-cell tripping battery was replaced by a 12-cell storage battery. At Napanee the 300 kv-a. transformer was replaced by a 750 kv-a. trans- former. The capacity at this station is now 1,350 kv-a. The metering equipment was rearranged and a reactive kv-a. meter was installed. At Carleton Place a second bank, consisting of three single-phase 200 kv-a. transformers, was installed on February 10, thereby increasing the capacity of this station to 1,350 kv-a. A 12-cell storage battery, together with charging equipment, was also installed. Current transformers and ammeters were installed on both transformer banks. At Perth a 750 kv-a. three-phase outdoor transformer was installed, replacing the bank of three 200 kv-a. single-phase indoor transformers. A polyphase watthour meter was installed on the totalizing metering equipment. The low- tension bus at this station was rebuilt. At Arnprior a bank of three 500 kv-a. single-phase transformers was in- stalled on April 18, the totalizing metering was rearranged and graphic meters were installed. At Sidney plant. No. C2, extensive maintenance work was necessary. The governors were all overhauled. The turbines were all inspected and a quantity of driftwood removed from the runners. The lower guide bearing on the turbine exciter was rebabbited. All the low-tension oil-breakers were overhauled. The voltage regulator was overhauled. The floors in the power house were all painted.

Defective insulators were replaced on the high- tension disconnecting-switches. A new enclosed type of storage battery was installed, replacing the defective battery which was installed when the plant was placed in service in 1925. A short length of the supervisory-control cable, which was in conduit underground, became defective and was replaced by an aerial cable. A considerable amount of painting was done in the power house. The above two plants are of the automatic supervisory remote-controlled type, which involves a considerable number of relays in an operating sequence. A large number of these relays are necessarily delicate in their structure and it will be appreciated that a regular routine of test and adjustment is necessary. These plants have now been in service for more than five years and have oper- ated very satisfactorily and economically. At Ranney Falls, No. CIO, the plant was unwatered and a thorough inspec- tion of all hydraulic equipment made. The hydro cones of both turbines were inspected under water and both were found to be in good condition. A number of broken gate arms were removed from one turbine. A complete set of gate arms, of a new design having a bronze breaking pin, were installed in this turbine. Two defective guide bearings on one of the generators were rebab- bited. All the low-tension oil-breakers and one high-tension oil-breaker were overhauled. Pulsating resistances were installed in the voltage regulators. The head gates and the floors of the generator room were painted. At Seymour plant. No. Cll, the forebay was unwatered and the racks cleaned. All turbines and governors were overhauled.

This consists of a short length of 22,000-volt circuit from the Commission's Fort William transformer station, erected on poles belonging to the Hydro-Electric Commission of Fort William, which connects through an air-break switch directly to one of the main circuits between the Kaministiquia Power Company's generating station at Kakabeka Falls and its Fort \\'illiam terminal station. This interconnection was placed in service on February 11, 1930. There was no major hydraulic maintenance work done during the year. The auxiliary equipment, however, has been carefully gone over and is in first class operating condition. Special attention was paid to the overhauling and adjustment of the governors. Only minor maintenance work was done to any generator during the year. The main power transformers at Cameron Falls generating station and at Port Arthur transformer station, with one exception, have been disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and reassembled during the year, leaving them in first class operating condition. There remains one transformer at Cameron Falls generat- ing station to be completed, as this transformer is being equipped with a new 12,000-volt winding of improved design. Emergency bus connections have been provided at Port Arthur transformer station whereby the spare trans- former may readily be connected in service to replace any unit of either bank, without moving it, which eliminates temporary oil and water connections. The 110,000-volt circuit-breakers at Cameron Falls generating station have been overhauled and adjusted during the year. One bushing on each of three breakers at this station failed during the year. There has also been a failure of a bushing on a breaker on one of the 22,000-volt feeders out of Port Arthur transformer station. The service obtained from the transmission lines during the year has been very good. The two system interruptions during the year have been due to failures of bushings in the 110,000-volt oil-breakers at Cameron Falls generating station. Flashovers, during thunderstorms on one transmission circuit have been responsible for two interruptions to Nipigon Corporation station, while the third interruption was due to the failure of a bushing in a 110,000-volt oil-breaker at Cameron Falls generating station. The Great Lakes Paper Company station and Fort William transformer station each had one interruption during the year, due to flashovers on their respective 110,000-volt transmission lines from Port Arthur transformer station. Some changes in the power transpositions in the wood-pole circuit were made during the year at the instance of the Canadian Pacific railway and Canadian National railways, whose communication circuits are closely paralleled by these transmission lines. Maintenance work has been done on these wood-pole lines in tightening guys and treating the poles at the ground line. Brush was cut along certain sections of the right-of-way. 9V HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 47 HORStPOW£« HORSEPOWER 40.000 30.000 20.000 10.000 The Port Arthur transformer station has had ncj curtailment of service to any customer due to failures of equipment. New foundations have been placed for a number of the supporting? columns of the steel framework of the station, and also for several of the 110,000-volt breakers, without interfering with service. The relay and breaker efjuii^ment has operated satisfactorily during the year. The Fort William transformer station also has had no failures of equipment or incorrect functioning of relays or breakers. Some slight addition to the feeder equipment has been made, to permit of synchronizing around the tie 48 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL RFPORT OF THE No. 26 breaker when paralleling with the Kaministiquia Power Company's system, and the metering arrangement has also been improved. The precipitation in the watershed supplying this system has been relatively light during the year, and there has been very little water spilled (wasted) over the power house dam. The heavy load on the system has required a correspond- ingly large flow in the river. The level of lake Nipigon has been drawn down to its lowest value since the regulating dam at Virgin Falls was built. Radio Communication The two short-wave experimental radio stations at Cameron Falls and Toronto have been in service all year. Communication between the two stations was fairly reliable throughout the year, there being only a few days in each month when conditions were not satisfactory. Considerable trouble from outside interference has been experienced at Toronto, and various attempts to eliminate or avoid this were made. During the year the transmitter at Toronto was completely overhauled and rebuilt, using an improved circuit. This has resulted in improved efficiency and more stable operating conditions. No special maintenance work was required at the Cameron Falls station. Now that a similar station has been placed in operation at Ear Falls generating station, Patricia district, the Cameron Falls station can be used as a means of relaying messages between Toronto and the above station.

Owing to a particularly dry fall in 1929, the supply of storage water, and consequently the river flow, was much reduced and it was necessary to curtail loads from about December 20 to January 8, 1930, when a thaw gave relief. Street lights were cut off at certain times, and sign lights partly cut off. Part of the North Bay pumping load was carried by a gasoline-driven pump, while part of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway plant load was carried by its own steam auxiliary plant. A leak developed in the earth section of the new Elliott Chute dam in the fall of 1929, which was apparently caused by a spring. Three wells were sunk to collect the water from this leak and tile laid to drain the water away. Sheet piling was also driven in the dam as a reinforcement. In the spring of 1930 while the frost was coming out of the earth and at a time when the head of water was comparatively high on the dam, a washout occurred in this earth section which required that the head on the dam be lowered and considerable new fill had to be placed in the holes caused by the washout. Lightning arresters were installed on the three-phase feeder to the surge tank, on the Nipissing village feeder at Nipissing power house, and on the 2,300-volt bus and the Powassan feeder at Bingham Chute power house. These arresters were installed for the purpose of trying to prevent lightning surges coming in over the low-tension feeders and damaging the generators. Inspection of the turbines at all three power houses was made, and all found in good condition. The inside of the turbines, the draft tubes, distributor pipe, thimbles and trash racks were painted at Bingham Chute and repairs made to the aprons in the sluiceways. Extensive changes were required to the double circuit 22,000-volt lines in the vicinity of Callander owing to a siding built by the Canadian National railways, and due to relocation of the Ferguson highway. Due to the relocation of the highway it was necessary to detour the lines to avert damage during blasting, and to relocate them after the highway was completed. A section of line was restrung with new cable and longer poles erected at this point at the same time. Changes for a crossing were also made at the request of the Bell Telephone Company at another point. A new concrete sluiceway and waste weir were constructed at Craig Lake dam, also a permanent retaining crib. This new sluiceway replaces the old wooden sluiceway, which was the weakest part of the dam and which has been filled in. Extensive repairs were carried out at several other storage lake dams.

From February, 1929, until April 30, 1930, the company continued as a joint stock company with the Commission's Operating department controlling the operation of the three generating plants and transmission lines. On April 30, 1930, the Commission completed the purchase of the company and the former Wahnapitae Power Company properties are now included in the Commission's Northern Ontario system and known as the Sudbury district. The Sudbury district includes three generating stations, with 22,500-volt tie lines between plants, a line from the Coniston plant to Sudbury, also operated at 22,500-volts, and a substation at Sudbury. Power is supplied to Sudbury, to the International Nickel Company's plant at Coniston, to the Treadwell Yukon Company, the Falconbridge Nickel Company and to Burw^ash Industrial Farm. The three mining companies named above and the Burwash Industrial Farm, each own their own transmission lines. The power houses have been named Coniston, McVittie and Stinson. The rated generating capacities of the three plants are as follows: — Coniston 4,550 kv-a., McVittie, 2,500 kv-a., Stinson 5,000 kv-a., making a total of 12,050 kv-a. The peak load in this district shows an increase of twenty-two per cent and the average load an increase of twenty-three per cent over the previous year. Figures for load in the fiscal year 1929 were obtained partly from the records of the Wahnapitae Power Company. The major part of this increase was due to the addition of the Sudbury municipal load and the load of the Falconbridge Nickel Company. Due to a period of continuous heavy rains and a particularly heavy rainfall on June 27, the river flow became so great that McVittie power house was flooded to a depth of about fifteen inches on the power house floor. Water got into a portion of the generator and exciter windings, also into the machine cables. By June 30 the water was low enough to start work drying out the insulation aff"ected, and the machines were placed back in service on July 8. As a result of this flood a certain portion of the system load was curtailed till repairs could be completed. On July 8 the No. 1 generator at this plant was damaged by lightning, shortly after it had been returned to service. Twelve coils had to be replaced and repairs made to the armature iron which had been damaged. To obviate future damage from flooding a bulkhead was placed in the floor opening left for No. 3 draft tube, and provision made for blocking the doors with stop logs. New lightning arresters were installed on the 2,300-volt bus at the McA'ittie plant to try and prevent trouble previously experienced due to lightning coming in over the Burwash feeder and damaging the generators. Trouble occurred in the upstream runner of No. 3 turbine at Coniston power house due to cracked and broken buckets. These defects were repaired by welding and the unit returned to service. As similar trouble was experienced with this runner a few \-ears ago, it was felt that it would be advisable to have a spare runner, and a new runner was ordered. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 53 HORSEPOWER ..„^ I.MJslinSls|:|Ssli§§5§8l?inli^r8lal = i55lill5ls5:|S<|i||§|g zo.ooo i i M ■ i 1 : , i ' ; '" I - -iQ'ar» - - 17JU .^„„^i.i .. : ?.

The machines at all three power houses were carefully inspected and necessary maintenance work carried out, including turning down commutators and collector rings and undercutting mica on commutators, aligning bearings, and repairing gates and gate operating mechanism. The private telephone line was extended from the Sudbury substation to the Sudbury office so that the superintendent can keep in touch with the general operation of the district. Considerable underbrushing was done along the lines, and a large number of poles treated with preservative at the ground line. During the severe floods experienced in the upper Wahnapitae watershed at the end of June, the storage dam on Scotia lake failed and part of the dam was washed away. Arrangements were made to replace this dam and at the end of the fiscal year reconstruction of the dam was under way. Patricia District The generating and transformer station at Ear Falls on the English river was tested out and placed in service on Dec. 25, 1929, but since the installation of electrical equipment at the Howey gold mine at Red lake was not completed, no power was supplied until February, 1930, when some equipment at the mine was tested out. This load slowly increased and reached its maximum level during May, and since has remained fairly constant. All equipment at this station has functioned in a very satisfactory manner, though some minor troubles have been experienced with the governor pump equipment. No major maintenance work has been necessary during the year. 54 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 The Commission has maintained the half of the 44,000-volt transmission line adjacent to the generating station for the Howey Gold Mines, who own this line. There have been two interruptions to service due to trouble on the trans- mission line during the year. Both of these were caused by trees blown across the line. On May 22, during a heavy blizzard", a very strong west wind uprooted a tree and blew it across the line. It is the intention to continue cutting the higher trees in the bush adjacent to the cleared right-of-way, but it is somewhat doubtful whether the completion of this work would have prevented the outages mentioned above. One other interruption to service was due to failure of a current transformer in the generating station caused by water coming through around the windows. This condition has been remedied. Heavy forest fires were reported near Red lake early this year, but they were brought under control before as much damage was done as in the previous year. No fire approached close enough to endanger the station or the transmission line. The transportation of operating supplies, maintenance material and men presents problems somewhat different from those encountered at plants in more thickly settled parts of the province. Ear Falls power house is situated on the English river about three miles below Goldpines, which is located at the outlet from Lac Seul. During the summer supplies are transported by water from Hudson, the nearest railway station, a distance of about 125 miles. In the winter, when lake and river are frozen, transportation is by team, or by motor truck when snow permits, over the same route. In the fall when the lakes and rivers start to freeze over, there is a period of four to six weeks in October and November when navigation becomes impossible and transportation over the ice is not feasible. Another similar period occurs during the spring break-up of ice on the lake's surface. During these periods the plant is almost completely isolated. In addition to the above methods of transportation there is a regular aeroplane service between Sioux Lookout, on the C.N.R., and Goldpines, and a second air service between Hudson and Goldpines. Men, mail and small packages may be sent in over these air routes, a distance of about 75 miles as against 125 miles by the more circuitous water route. As the aeroplanes use pontoons for landing on the water during the summer, and skiis for landing on the frozen surface of the lake and river during the winter, they also are affected by the fall and spring break-up. During the break-up periods, therefore, the staff at the power house is cut off from all operating and main- tenance supplies and even from communication by mail. Their sole connection with the outside world is by radio. During the past year the plant was completely isolated from April 11 to May 9, but the autumn freeze-up was later than usual, traffic and mail com- munication remaining open up to October 31, the end of the fiscal year covered by this Report. At the instance of the Lake-of-the-Woods Control Board the flow in the English river has been frequently adjusted during the year by means of the Lac Seul regulating dam at Ear Falls. The precipitation records have only been kept since May, but it is believed that the precipitation in this district has been somewhat above normal this 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 55 HORSEPOWER HORSEPOWER 3.000 2.000 FEB APR JUNt AUO SCPT OCT NOV OCC rcB MAR JUNC MPT OCT NOV DEC FEB APR JUNE AUO SCPT OCT NOV OCC JAN FEB MAR APR JUNt AUO itPT OCT NOV OCC JAN FEB APR MAT JUNE JUIT AUO OCT NOV DEC ■••"^ r i I 1 QTH ^ lyju i J' -L- I ^--^ '1 i 1 i/ ~r NORTHERN ONTARIO SYSTEM' r '°°" T i PATRICIA DISTRICT - _ ^ T PEAK LOADS HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION ' OF ONTARIO 1 1 1 1 !

Due to the conservation of water when not required by the Lake-of-the- W'oods Control Board the level of Lac Seul has been materially raised during the year. Radio Communication During the year a short-wave experimental radio station was built and installed at Ear Falls generating station. The radio equipment is similar in capacity to those already in service at Cameron Falls on the Thunder Bay system, and at Toronto. The transmitter embodies the new type of circuit that has been used in the alteration of the set at Toronto. Rectified current has been used as a power supply in place of the usual motor generator set. This source of power has given very satisfactory' service. Contact was first established between this station and Toronto on May 26, 1930. Since that time communication has been carried on quite regularly with the exception of a short interval when the station was without an operator. Ear Falls is the Commission's most outlying station and is completely isolated for periods of four to eight weeks in spring and fall. The radio station is therefore a very necessary and important feature, as it is the only means of maintaining communication with the outside world during the periods of isolation. Contact has frequently been established between this station and the one at Cameron Falls on the Thunder Bay system. By this means messages may be relayed between Ear Falls and Toronto when conditions are not favorable for direct communication. 56 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 SECTION III MUNICIPAL WORK The Commission acts in an advisory capacity in connection with the operation of the "Hydro" utilities of the various municipahties with which it has contracts. In this connection the Commission arranges for the purchase, construction or extension of distribution systems and assists the municipal officials in making their financial arrangements to pay for the cost of these systems. All rate adjustments, as provided under The Power Commission Act, are recommended by the Commission, and a study of the operating conditions of all utilities is made annually and adjustments recommended accordingly. The Commission generally supervises the management and operation of all systems, more especially in the smaller municipalities which, individually, are not of sufficient size to employ a manager with the technical knowledge necessary to administer properly all phases of the local system's operation. In the case of the rural power districts, the Commission itself — on behalf of the corporations of the individual townships — operates the rural power systems, and distributes electrical energy to the customers of the respective corporations in any such rural power district. NIAGARA SYSTEM The increase in the power demands of the Niagara system while not as great as in some preceding years was satisfactory. The tenth unit at the Queen- ston generating station was completed and placed in operation on July 4, 1930. The eastern section, approximately ninety-one miles in length, of the second 220,000-volt steel-tower line conveying Gatineau River power to Toronto, was completed. The Commission and the Chats Falls Power Company have under con- struction at Chats Falls on the Ottawa river a generating plant which will deliver approximately 224,000 horsepower to the Niagara system. A third 220,000-volt steel-tower line has been placed under construction to connect Leaside with this generating plant. A new 110,000-volt line has been constructed from the vicinity of Niagara falls to Port Colborne to supply the industrial loads in this vicinity. During the year the Commission purchased the properties known as the Dominion Power and Transmission Company. This Company with subsidiaries 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 57 was purchased for the sum of $21,000,000. The capacity of the generating plants plus power purchased under contract amounts to 83,900 horsepower and power is delivered to a large number of municipalities and industrial consumers in the territory extending from Port Colborne and St. Catharines to Hamilton, Brantford and Oakville. By operating the Quecnston-Chippawa plant — the most efificient of the three plants owned by the Commission — at full capacity as much of the time as possible, the C\)mmission is able to obtain from the available water supply a maximum amount of power. After taking care of the full requirements of the Niagara system operating at its greatest capacity, the Commission was able during the year to sell substantial quantities of interruptible off-peak power to companies in the L'nited States under arrangements which permit its withdrawal when required by Canadian industries. Such sales are of course of benefit to the system. General engineering assistance was given during the year to practically all of the municipalities in the Niagara system, by a general supervision of manage- ment and operation, and also in connection with the construction and extension of distribution systems and stations. Certain municipalities received special engineering advice and assistance regarding a number of matters, which are more fully referred to as follows* Acton — A decided increase in the load of power users necessitated the installation of 300-kv-a. additional capacity in Acton distributing station. Additional 4,000-volt feeders to serve these loads were also provided. Bolton — Increased use of appliances by domestic users necessitated the rebuilding of a portion of the system and the work was undertaken by the staff of the Woodbridge rural power district, directed by the Commission's engineers. Brantford — A new substation known as Brantford Sub No. 2 was erected during the year. This consists of one 3,000-kv-a. outdoor-type transformer with the switching and metering equipment housed in a brick building. Six 4,000-volt feeders have been installed. The station will be unattended and may be tied in with Sub No. 1. Provision has been made for an additional 3,000-kv-a. transformer to be mounted outside. Brigden — At the request of the local Trustee Board, the operation and maintenance of the distribution system were taken over by the Commission's staff of the Oil Springs rural power district. Chatham — Extensions and improvements were made to the transformer station. Additional ornamental street lighting was installed on Dufferin and Park streets. A recommendation was made to the Utility in connection with the issuing of debentures to take care of the bank overdraft and the financing of extensions, instead of making plant extensions from operating surplus. Embro — At the request of the local Commission the operation and main- tenance of the electrical system was taken over by the IngersoU rural power district staff during the year. Essex — The distribution system was changed so as to remove all primary 4,000-volt conductors from the main street and make way for steel poles put in jointly by the municipality and the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Radial 58 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Association. A new ornamental street lighting system, consisting of sixty-one 300-\vatt multiple lights in pendant type of acorn fixtures, has been installed on these joint poles. Glencoe — The distribution voltage to Glencoe was changed to 8, 000- volts and the local distribution system was remodelled to accommodate the change. Goderich — Tests were carried out by engineers of the Commission on a new domestic-pumping unit consisting of a 900-gallon, 310-foot head, centri- fugal pump direct driven by a 110-horsepower, 2,200-volt motor. Harrow — On Nov. 1, 1929, the local operation of the town system was taken over by the Commission's rural staff and a new office was opened on the main street. During the year the Commission's station was more than doubled in capacity to take care of the increasing loads in the town and in the rural district, especially along the lake Erie front where many new summer cottages are being built each year. Ingersoll — The distribution system was rebuilt to take care of the increased lighting loading. The primary feeders going north on Thames street were removed through the business street section and placed to the east in the rear of the buildings. Kingsville — Owing to the change in location for the new station in this municipality the primary 4,000-volt circuits were rearranged. Advantage will be taken of this to increase the size of these conductors and divide the town on east and west circuits. Lambeth — Plans have been prepared to take care of changes to the distri- bution system made necessary by the serving of this municipality from the Glendale station instead of from Delaware station. Actual work will be under- taken during the first month of the coming year. Lynden — In accordance with a resolution received from the local commis- sion, plans were prepared for remodelling the distribution system. The work has been completed by the Commission's staff of the Dundas rural power district. Merlin — During the early part of this year the operation of the local system was taken over by the Commission's Blenheim rural power district stafif. A new office was opened for the village and surrounding rural district. Newbury — Distribution voltage to Newbury was changed to 8,000 volts and the local distribution system was remodelled to accommodate the change. New Hamburg — The rearrangement of a portion of the distribution system on Waterloo street and Huron road was undertaken, larger secondary conductor being installed. Oil Springs — During the year the operation of the local system was taken over by the Commission's Oil Springs rural power district staff. A new office was opened in Oil Springs to take care of the operation of the municipalities of Brigden and Oil Springs as well as the Brigden, Oil Springs and Petrolia rural power districts. Otterville — During the year thirty additional street lights were erected in the village, twelve of which are 200-watt ornamental brackets carried on adjacent poles in the business section of the main street. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 59 Port Colborne — A substantial amount of work has been done on the local system in addition to installing cables under the new Welland Canal. The Commission's engineers prepared the plans and estimates. Port Dover — Upon receipt of a resolution from the Port Dover Commission, plans and estimates were prepared for increasing the capacity of the local system. The work is being carried out by the Commission's Simcoe rural power district staff. Richmond Hill — Increases in loads of domestic customers necessitated the rebuilding of a substantial portion of the local distribution system. The work was done by the Commission's staff of the Bond Lake rural power district. St. Thomas — The office was moved from the old situation on Catharine street to a fine building purchased from Huron and Erie Mortgage and Loan Company. All Hydro bills which were formerly paid at the City Hall will now be paid at the new office. Sarnia — Improvement was made in the street lighting in the main part of the town, by the installation of more efficient glassware. Plans were made to improve the lighting throughout the city, and commencement was made by the installation of larger lamps on main secondary thoroughfares. This work will be completed during the coming year. Strathroy— A very fine ornamental street lighting system was put in on Front and Frank streets consisting of twin units. It was possible to eliminate a number of the overhead wires, which greatly improves the general appearance of the town. Sutton — As the distribution system in this municipality had become inadequate for the loads, a great amount of rebuilding was done, with the assistance of the Commission's engineers and the staff of the Keswick rural power district. Thedford — Plans and estimates have been prepared to remodel and rebuild the local distribution system to accommodate a change of distribution voltage from 4,000 to 8,000 volts. Tilbury — The 4,000-volt primaries were removed from the main street and new primary feeder line was constructed. New powder secondaries were strung to supply practically all the power load from one bank of 550-volt trans- formers in the centre of the town. The transformers for the town fire pump were rearranged so as not to be on the lines except when required for fire purposes. Tillsonburg — In order to provide for increased loads, the main portion of the primary and secondary distribution system is being rebuilt locally with heavier conductor. Provision is also being made for a primary ring bus, in order to give better and more constant service. Wallaceburg^Work was commenced on the installation of an ornamental street lighting system in the business section of the town. Wardsville — Distribution voltage to Wardsville was changed to 8,000 volts and the local distribution system remodelled to accommodate the change. West Lome — The operation and the maintenance of the electrical distri- bution system were taken care of by the Commission through the Dutton rural power district staff in accordance with a request of the local Committee. 60 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 GEORGIAN BAY SYSTEM The growth of load throughout this system during the year was such as to maintain an average increase equal to that estabHshed over past years, and as the various de\elopments supplying power to the system became loaded to capacity the Commission undertook the construction of a 110,000-volt trans- mission line between Kitchener and Hanover, and a 5,000-kv-a. frequency changer set at Hanover, by means of which the Niagara and the Georgian Bay systems were tied together, and a large block of power made available for the Georgian Bay system from the Niagara system. This connection also makes possible the return of power from the Georgian Bay to the Niagara system during high water periods. This line and station were completed and placed in operation during the year. A tie line between the Bala system and the Big Chute develop- ment was also completed and placed in operation during the year, and the dis- tributing lines of the Bala system were completely overhauled and placed in satisfactory operating condition. Complete new substations were installed as follows: Bala, 450-kv-a.; Utterson, 300-kv-a.; Southampton, 300-kv-a. ; Pains- wick, 300-kv-a.; Tara, 75-kv-a., and Walkerton, 750-kv-a. The following existing substations were enlarged : Innisfil from 100-kv-a. to 450-kv-a. ; Wroxeter Rural Power District from 75-kv-a. to 225-kv-a.; Kirkfield from 225-kv-a. to 450-kv-a. Negotiations were conducted and completed during the year with the Public Utilities Consolidated Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota, covering the purchase of The Saugeen Electric Light and Power Company, and The Walkerton Electric Light and Power Company in Bruce County, and the Commission has now assumed complete control of these properties for the municipalities. General engineering assistance and advice concerning the management and operation of the various local distribution systems, also assistance in connection with the application of rates and the submission of information to power and lighting customers was rendered to all of the municipalities throughout the district. Engineering advice of a special nature in connection with matters referred to was given to the following municipalities: Barrie — Arrangements were made for changing the local distribution system from two-phase to three-phase, and plans and estimates were drawn up and submitted to the local Commission accordingly. Orillia — At the request of the town of Orillia, valuations were made of the rural lines in Rama, Mara and Orillia townships — owned and operated by the town of Orillia — in connection with the purchase of thest- lines by the Com- mission, and the operation of them under standard rural conditions in accordance with the Act. An agreement w'as drawn up and submitted, and negotiations carried on covering the purchase of these lines by the Commission. It is expected that the deal will be completed early next year. Port Elgin — A valuation of the distribution system was made in this municipality and estimates prepared covering the cost of reconstructing it in order that the local system might be in a position to give proper service. Rosseau — Enabling and mone\' by-laws were submitted to the ratepayers and carried in this municipality on January 6, 1930. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 61 Southampton — An estimate was prepared covering the reconstruction of the local distrihiiiion system in order to put it in first-class condition. A sub- station was also constructed in this municipality and service given from the Georgian Bay system on the 2nd of July. Wiarton — Estimates were prepared covering the complete reconstruction of the distribution system in this municipality. Windermere — A distribution system was constructed and placed in operation on June 30, 1930 and Hydro service given to the consumers for the first time. EASTERN ONTARIO SYSTEM This system which was formed in 1929 by combining three former systems, viz., Central Ontario system, St. Lawrence system and Rideau system, now serves the eastern portion of the Province as far west as Ontario county. The properties on the Madawaska and Mississippi rivers, acquired from Mr. M. J. O'Brien in June 1929 have also been combined with this system. A rural network of lines known as the Beach Rural Electric system in Dundas county supplied from a small generating plant at Iroquois owned by the Beach Estate, was acquired on July 1, 1930 by the Commission and a contract to purchase 500 horsepower was negotiated with the owners of this plant. These properties and power supply ha\e also been made a part of the Eastern system. The system receives its power supply in part, from generating plants on the Trent Canal system and the Rideau, Mississippi and Madawaska rivers: purchased power at Cornwall from the Cedar Rapids Company and at Ottawa from the Gatineau Power Company as well as small blocks at other points supplement this supply. The immediate future requirements of the system are amp!}- provided for by the contract with the Gatineau Power Company and the Commission holds numerous important water power sites on the above rivers for future developm.ent. Bancroft — Assistance and advice was given to this municipality in its negotiations with a private company for light and power. Bath — A report is in preparation with regard to the supply of power to the village of Bath. Belleville — On January 1, 1930 the Belleville Hydro-Electric System took over the operation of the Belleville distribution system, purchased from the Commission in 1929. Improvements to the street lighting system on No. 2 highway in Belleville are in course of construction. Brighton — The corporation of Brighton purchased the local distribution system in Brighton and took over the operation of this system on May 1, 1930. The plant has been operated by the Brighton Water Commission, pending the election of a local Hydro-Electric Commission at the 1931 municipal elections. Cardinal — This village which signed a contract with the Commission received its first supply of power on July 4, 1930. 62 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Deseronto — Negotiations with regard to the purchase of the local distri- bution system by the municipality are now under way. Hastings — Plans and estimates with regard to the supply of power for Hastings were submitted to the Corporation. By-laws arranging for power supply were passed by the electors. Kingston — Assistance was given to the Public Utilities Commission, in connection w^ith arranging for a supply of power for a new grain elevator which has been constructed at Kingston this year. Madoc — On the expiration of a contract for the supply of power at a fixed rate, the corporation of Madoc, on January 1, 1930 entered into a contract with the Commission for a supply of power at cost. A revision of the muni- cipality's system of rate charges was made to bring these in line with the Com- mission's standard form of rates. Plans are being made to improve the distri- bution system. Napanee — The corporation of Napanee purchased the local distribution system from the Commission and took over its operation on April 1, 1930. The Napanee Public Utilities Commission is operating the system. Oshawa — The Oshawa Public Utilities Commission on January 1, 1930 took over the operation of the Oshawa electiical distribution system and the Oshawa gas plant purchased from the Commission in 1929. Port Hope — The corporation of Port Hope purchased the local distribution system from the Commission and took over the operation of the plant on May 1, 1930. Renfrew — Due to a shortage of water on the Bonnechere river, the town of Renfrew applied to the Commission for assistance. The Commission was able to assist by accepting the output of a steam driven generator at Arnprior and delivering an equivalent amount of power at Renfrew. Stirling — On the expiration of a contract for the supply of power at a fixed rate, the Corporation on January 1, 1930 entered into a new contract with the Commission for a supply of power at cost. Engineering assistance was give the municipality in connection with certain changes and improve- ments to the municipality's distribution station. Arrangements are being made with the municipality to take care of the operation of the adjacent rural power district. Trenton — The street lighting system has been converted from a series to a multiple system. Tweed — The Corporation is negotiating with the Commission for the purchase of the local distribution system in Tweed. Ottawa District In November 1929 the new high-tension station taking power at 110,000- volts, 60-cycles, was put into operation, the power delivered being part of that obtained under the contract with the Gatineau Power Company. The city of Ottawa takes this power at 11, 000- volts through its new distribution station. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 63 This additional power supph' was made necessary l)y the rapid growth of load to an amount beyond the 20,000 horsepower available under the contract with the Ottawa and Hull Power Company, now incorporated in the Gatineau Power Company system. THUNDER BAY SYSTEM The power consumption of this system was considerably affected during the year by the national and world-w^ide industrial depression which prevailed throughout the entire year. The grain trade and the pulp and paper industry utilize the major portion of power used in this district, and these two com- modities were among those which have suffered most from trade depression conditions. In spite of these difficulties, the results of the year's operation compare favorably with preceeding years. The Alexander development of 54,000 horsepower capacity was completed in part, the first unit being placed in operation on October 21, 1930. Engineering assistance and advice covering the management and operation of the various distribution systems was given to the cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, also to the village of Nipigon, which comprise this system. NORTHERN ONTARIO SYSTEM Nipissing District Investigations were made and estimates prepared covering a future supply of power for this system, which comprises the city of North Bay and the villages of Powassan, Nipissing and Callander. Sudbury District After the preparation of estimates and careful investigation, arrangements were completed for securing a supply of power from The Ontario Power Service Corporation, a subsidiary of The Abitibi Power and Paper Company, from a development at Abitibi canyon on the Abitibi river, approximately 50 miles north of Cochrane. A contract for 100,000 horsepower w^as executed. The initial powder will be delivered during the latter part of 1931. It is expected that this will supply the district with all of its requirements for some time to come, and will supplement power now being obtained from the former develop- ments of The Wahnapitae Power Company, which now form a part of the Commission's Northern Ontario system. A contract was executed with The International Nickel Company for a large block of power for its works at Copper Cliff. Patricia District This district is supplied by the new^ development at Ear Falls at the foot of Lac Seul, the first unit of 5,000 horsepower having been completed and placed in operation during the year. The only customer at present is the Howey Gold Mines Limited, but provision has been made for supplying any other industry which may require power to operate. 64 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN ONTARIO A farm home in Ontario using "Hydro" service RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE The process of supplying electrical service to the rural areas of Ontario has now been going forward for several years and very encouraging progress has been made in the sections of the Province served by the transmission lines and stations of the Commission. Rural electrification to attain its greatest success must have the wholehearted support of all rural dwellers. It is essentially a community interest. The transmission lines which serve the individual farmers can also carry light and power to churches, schools and stores, and to factories utilizing agricultural products as their raw materials. Efficient electrical service at low cost, such as is supplied by the Commission, is a great step forward in the agricultural development of the Province, and its use helps to make farming more profitable. Moreover, no other agency can contribute so much to the maintenance of a standard of living which makes life in rural districts more attractive. The rural population has therefore welcomed with enthusiasm the possi- bility of obtaining the combination of lighting service with that of a most flexible form of power supply. The great networks of transmission lines which serve urban municipalities have constituted an opportunity and afforded a base from which rural primary lines may economically be extended over wide areas of the more closely settled parts of rural Ontario. The growth in mileage of rural lines during recent years has been phenomenal, and the farmers of Ontario are taking advantage of the service as fast as lines can be built to supply them. The policy and practice of the Commission has been, and is, to make a distribution of electrical energy as widespread as possible, and to extend to every community that can economically be reached by transmission lines the benefit of electrical service. In harmony with this policy, the supplying of electrical service to rural districts has been undertaken according to a compre- hensive and carefully thought-out programme. For the purpose of electrical service in rural Ontario, rural power districts are formed in the more closely settled portions of the Province traversed by transmission lines. A typical rural power district covers about 100 square miles. Its boundaries are not arbitrary geographical limits — such as define, for example, the areas of town- ships— but depend rather upon the economic distances which may be served 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 65 RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN ONTARIO A small automatic water pumping system as used in rural homes in Ontario, served by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission from a distribution centre of city, town or village. It should be appreciated that without such transmission networks as have been constructed to serve the cities and towns of the Province, any extensive rural electrification would be economically impracticable. The experience gained by the Commission and the improvements in technique, enable electrical service to be given to rural districts when there can be secured three signed farm contracts, or their equivalent, per mile of line to be constructed. Assistance is given by the Province to farmers and rural residents in three ways, namely: First — A grant-in-aid toward the initial capital cost of supplying electrical service amounting to fifty per cent of the cost of line and secondary equipment, which is the maximum amount provided for by the Rural Hydro-Electric Distribution Act. 66 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN ONTARIO The three-horsepower motor illustrated is used in the barn to drive a chopping mill, a milking machine, a cream separator and a jack-shaft and emery stone Second — /Authority has been granted by the Province to the Commission to fix a maximum service charge for any class of service rendered by the Com- mission in a rural power district. \A'here as is usually the case in newly estab- lished rural power districts such maximum service charge is not sufficient to meet the necessary cost of service, as specified by the Commission, the deficit is chargeable to and payable out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Province. Payments made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for this purpose, on account of any rural power district, is charged to that rural power district in a special account known as the "Rural Power Service Suspense Account" in the books of the Treasurer of Ontario, and any surplus thereafter arising from any maximum service charge in that rural power district is to be paid to the Treasurer of Ontario and placed to the credit of the rural power district in such suspense account until the deficit is extinguished. Where a temporary deficit arises in any rural power district owing to the application of the maximum service charge, such maximum service charge must remain in force and be charged in that rural power district until the deficit is extinguished. A tabulation set out on an accompanying page shows the present maximum service charge placed in effect on January 1, 1930. Third — An Act to provide for granting aid towards the installation of electrical works in rural power districts was passed during the year. The purpose of this Act is to provide advances towards the installation of electrical services in rural power districts, subject to regulations. Aid may be granted subject to such regulations and repayments for the wiring from the transmission or distribution lines of the Commission into and throughout dwellings, farms, out-houses, and any other works which may from time to time be specified by 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 67 RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN ONTARIO The tented city at the provincial ploughing match at Stratford, Ontario, at which "Hydro" made a very comprehensive demonstration of appliances and equipment for use on the farm the regulations. In addition to the wiring, loans may be obtained on trans- formers, motors, or other appliances, as may be necessary or expedient for any industrial, agricultural or domestic purpose which may be specified in the regulations. The assistance given by the Province in these several ways is in pursuance of a long-established gov^ernmental policy of promoting the basic industry of agriculture. This policy had previously found expression in the establishment of agricultural schools, colleges and experimental farms, in assistance for farm drainage, road building and in other ways. The grants-in-aid and guarantees thus given make it possible to extend hydro-electrical power service to those engaged in and connected with agricultural pursuits in less densely populated districts where otherwise such service would not be financially feasible. The extent and effect of the Province's financial assistance with respect to the distribution of power in rural districts should be clearly understood. The Government grant-in-aid relates to the initial capital investment. Having made its grant-in-aid, the Government further participates in the operation of each district in that it guarantees a maximum service charge, otherwise its participation in the operation of the property ceases. Each rural power district not only pays the cost of operation, maintenance and administration of its lines, but also sets up reserves for renewals, obsolescence and contingencies on the whole of the equipment and lines, as well as for sinking fund on the invest- ment made by the Commission on behalf of the townships served. The aggregate load distributed to the rural dwellers is, and possibly must always be, but a relatively small proportion of the total energy distributed by the Commission, and the provincial grant towards the cost of rural service is of no advantage to the power system as a whole, because the demand for 68 TWExNTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 power at present, apart altogether from the small amount distributed to the rural districts, is such as readily to absorb the supplies progressively being made available. On the other hand, the beneficial influence of rural electrical service on agriculture is reflected in the prosperity and welfare of the Province as a whole, and is already a factor of importance and worth. The accompanying diagrams illustrate the unprecedented expansion of rural primary-line extensions during the last ten years, and the increase in the use of electricity by the farming communities of Ontario as shown by the aggregate peak loads. It is believed that further substantial progress will be made in the next few years. An outstanding reason for this growth is the extent to which the Commission has gained the confidence of the rural com- munities through efficiency in the construction of lines, through progressive reductions in rates and by a continuity of service which has contributed very materially to progress by inspiring confidence in the use of electrical power- driven machinery. The Year's Activities During the past year the amount of constructional work carried out in the rural power districts exceeded by a substantial margin that of any previous year. Some 1,860 miles of primary transmission lines were constructed or under construction and electrical service was given to 9,375 additional con- sumers. The capital expenditure approved for rural construction work during the past year was $2,041,919, and the aggregate peak load in October, 1930, reached 26,782 horsepower. Details of these matters and of the present status of rural distribution are presented in the accompanying tables. For the coming year, arrangements have been made to construct about 1,800 miles of additional rural lines. The engineers of the Commission attended during the past year a number of public meetings throughout the Province, held for the specific purpose of explaining to prospective consumers the rates at which electrical power could be supplied, the uses which can be made of power on the farm and the procedure necessary to obtain service. In all, seventy-five meetings were held. Where possible, moving pictures were shown, illustrating the uses of electricity on the farm. The provincial statutes relating to rural distribution were explained, pamphlets w^ere distributed, and assistance w^as given to local committees appointed to canvass their respective districts. The Commission also co-operated with the Provincial Department of Agriculture by giving similar talks to students taking short-course lectures at the Agricultural College at Guelph, and at other centres. Representatives of the Commission also attended provincial ploughing matches and arranged to give information to a large number of interested farmers. The manufacturers of electric motors and other equipment used in connection with power on the farm co-operated with the Commission in giving demonstrations at various places, showing actually how power can advantageously be employed by the farmer. During the past year not only has the power taken by the rural power districts increased because of increased mileage of transmission lines and the demand of the consumer connected to these new lines, but the demand for power has also increased due to the greater use of electricity on the farms already served and due also to the connection of new consumers to existing lines. Furthermore, many townships have installed — in districts where the conditions warranted — street lighting systems on the public highways. To supply these 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 69 RURAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN ONTARIO An electrically-equipped kitchen in a farmer's home in Markham rural power district. The electric range, washing machine, refrigerator, iron and toaster, with a modern sink and laundry tubs supplied by a water system installed in the basement, assist materially in relieving the arduous duties of the farmer's wife increased loads, new substations have been constructed and the capacities and number of lines have been increased. The tabulation on page 72 shows the extensions approved during the year, the number of consumers, the amounts of power supplied, the capital expenditures and the amounts of provincial grant-in-aid of rural lines approved by the Government. Rates for Rural Electrical Service Rates to rural consumers are based upon service "at cost," — proper account, of course, being taken of the Prov^incial grant-in-aid for rural work and the operation of the provision for a maximum service charge — and as in urban centres the rates are made up of two parts, a service charge and a consumption charge. In any given rural power district the service charge to a consumer depends primarily upon the individual connected load or demand which determines his class rating (See "Classification of Services") but this is modified in the earlier years of operation of a rural power district by the provision respect- ing maximum service charge; the consumption charge is in the form of a first and second kilowatt-hour charge and is largely determined by the cost of power at the source of supply to the rural power district. An important factor in connection with rural power supply is the stability of the rates charged. Since service is given at cost and since it is the policy to give service wherever economically practicable, it is necessary, in the interests of the rural consumers themselves, to ensure by contract a certain minimum return from each mile of line constructed. Otherwise, if one or two prospective consumers failed to take service, it would place an unfair burden upon those who did. Experience has led the Commission to adopt the safe policy of con- structing rural lines only when sufficient contracts have been signed to guarantee 70 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 MILES OF LINE MILES OF LINE 8.000 IcilHilsiialilHlOsSiilillilll^iisliilll^l^iislriillU^ils ' 1 Q^n - 1 yju 7,000 - - . - - ___,....- -^— _ 7 _ _ _ _-_ _ _ _ _- _-_^ 7 -t / / 1 QOQ /i^ ly^y r 7' T 1 0OQ ^ _ lyzb i' 4,000 - t - — _. . _ _t— .- r"^ 1 \OkO~1 / \ yz/ - ^^^ /'"' T 3,000 --- - — ~7 ~ ~ ~ / 1 QOC C -i- -\\5CXi- J ^"^'X — ^ -^ y - 1 QOt; - __ 4 - ^ly^D 1Q90 _=====_= --^ RURAL POWER DISTRICTS 19^1 r — ' TOTAL MILEAGE OF — -'""^ RURAL PRIMARY LINES APPROVED -"' HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO a JAN FEB APR MAT JUNE JULY AUO SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB APR MAY JUNE JULY AUO SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB APR JUNE AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR JUNE AUO SEPT OCT DEC JAN FEB JUNE JULY AUO SEPT OCT NOV DEC 7.000 6.000 5.000 4.000 3.000 2.000 1.000 payment of the fixed charges on their cost; the minimum signed contracts required being three ordinary farm contracts or their equivalent per mile of line constructed.

It may be stated that more than 90 per cent of the contracts entered into for farm service are either of Class 2B or Class III. These, therefore, are the representative classes for individual farm service. Rather more than half the consumers in rural power districts are grouped in hamlets or small villages closely identified with rural activities, and these consumers are usually in Class IB or Class IC. It should further be under- stood that rural power districts do not include suburban districts or larger villages. These have their own electrical utilities. All new rural power districts begin at standard rural rates and these con- stitute the maximum rates submitted to the proposed consumers. As the average number of consumers per mile of line increases, the service charges may be, and in practice have been, reduced; and with increased consumption the rates per kilowatt-hour are also lowered. Thus, in older-established rural power districts the total cost of service is much below the initial standard rates. At the end of this section is given a tabulation of the rural power districts established in connection with the several systems of the Commission, which shows the miles of line, the number of consumers and the rate schedules for each district. 72 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 SUMMARY OF RURAL LINE EXTENSIONS As Approved by the Commission from June 1, 1921, to October 31, 1930 Miles of primary line Number of consumers Capital approved for extension System Hamlet Farm Total Total Provincial grant-in-aid Niagara Georgian Bay Eastern Ontario Ottawa district Northern Ontario — Nipissing district 5,437.55 520.57 1,070.08 121.77 5.00 18,196 2,399 4,209 372 179 17,305 1,100 2,573 371 11 35,501 3,499 6,782 743 190 $ c. 12,009,573,94 1,087,005.36 2,366,591.78 249,096.53 19,568.00 $ c. 6,004,786.97 519,336.20 1,183,295.89 124,548.26 9,784.00 Total 7,154.97 25,355 21,360 46,715 15,731,835.61 7,841,751.32 RURAL LINE EXTENSIONS DURING THE YEAR 1930 Miles of primary line Number of consumers Power supplied in October, 1930 Capital approved for extensions System Hamlet Farm Total Total Provincial grant-in-aid Niagara Georgian Bay Eastern Ontario . . .

This class excludes farmers and power users. Service is given under two sub-classes as follows: Class 1-B: Service to residences or stores. Use of appliances over 750 watts per- manently installed is not permitted under this class. Class 1-C: Service to residences or stores with electric range or permanently installed appliances greater than 750 watts. Combinations of residence and store supplied from one service shall be not less than Class 1-C. Special or unusual loads will be treated specially. Class II-A: House Lighting — Includes service to all residences that cannot be grouped as in Class I. This class excludes farmers and power users. Class II-B: Farm Service, Small — Includes service for lighting of buildings and power for miscellaneous small equipment and power for a single-phase motor not exceeding 2 horse- power or an electric range (motor and range not to be used simultaneously) on a small farm of fifty acres or less. Class III: Farm Service, Light — Includes service for lighting of farm buildings, power for miscellaneous small equipment, power for single-phase motors not exceed- ing 3 horsepower and electric range. Range and motor are not to be used simultan- eously. Class IV: Farm Ser^-ice, Medium Single-Phase — Includes service for lighting of farm buildings and power for miscellaneous small equipment, power for single-phase motors up to 5-horsepower demand or an electric range. Range and motor are not to be used simultaneously. Class V: Farm Service, Medium 3-Phase — Includes service for lighting farm buildings and power for miscellaneous small equipment, power for 3-phase motors, up to 5-horsepower demand, or an electric range. Range and motor are not to be used simultaneously. Class VI: Farm Service, Heavy — Includes service for lighting of farm buildings and power for miscellaneous small equipment, power for motors up to 5-horsepower demand and an electric range, or 10-horsepower demand without an electric range. Single- or three-phase serx'ice will be given at the discretion of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Class VII: Farm Service, Special — Includes service for lighting of farm buildings, power for miscellaneous small equipment, power for 3-phase motors from 10- to 20-horsepower demand and electric range. Single or three-phase service will be given at the discretion of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Note: Class IIB is the service usually supplied to small farms of fifty acres or less and Class III is the service usually supplied to ordinary farms of larger size. More than 90 per cent, of new contracts for farm service are in one or other of these two classes. 74 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 o a- 03 O U O Q < P Xfl Z o S Z la Z O P C/5 H CIS 05 o PLh p oc5 Prompt payment discount t^OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO oo c g a E a; 3 M to u C rt o-c u u 2 o C — o en C cs cs cs cs cs — H CM CM T-H CM CM CM CM CM 'M CM CM fM CM CM ^ CM CM 1st 14 hrs. use of class demand min. 30 kw-hrs.

These are the completion by the addition of the tenth unit of the Queenston plant on the Niagara river, the advancement to the operating stage of the Alexander Power development on the Nipigon river, and the commencement of construction of the Chats Falls development on the Ottawa river. Particular interest attaches to the first of these, for, while there are no radical differences in design or arrangement of this unit and those built previously, it marks the completion of the most outstanding, in capacity and efficiency, of plants developing power from waters of the Niagara river. It is interesting to note that, while nine years have elapsed since the first unit came into service, the plant still maintains its leadership in these particulars. The construction of the dam at the Alexander Power development was marked by exceptional speed in placing materials, in order to take full advantage of the period of suitable weather for the work. The work on the development at Chats Falls is proceeding rapidly. This plant, when completed, will be one of the largest in Canada, being exceeded in size only by the Queenston plant and a few others in the Province of Quebec. Reference is made below to maintenance work on a number of structures in the Georgian Bay, Eastern Ontario and Northern Ontario systems, and to investigations proceeding on undeveloped sites at various places in the province. NIAGARA SYSTEM Oueenston-Chippawa Development The tenth and last unit at the Queenston development was completed and brought into service during the summer of 1930. The installation is, in general, similar to the other main units in the plant, but there were certain changes in design, outstanding among which were those in the headworks. A considerable amount of rock excavation was carried out in the extension of the forebay and headworks below minimum water level in the forebay, and to do this safely and economically, the forebay and intake structure extensions were designed with a floor elevation five feet higher than for units Nos. 1 to 9, and the construc- tion programme was so arranged as to prevent any hazard during the course of the work. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION ONTARIO POWER PLANT— NIAGARA FALLS General view of construction of concrete envelope for No. 3 wood stave conduit Turbine unit No. 10 was built by the Dominion Engineering Works of Montreal, and has a rated capacity of 58,000 horsepower under a head of 294 feet. A Pelton-Morris governor is used, built by the I. P. Morris Company of Philadelphia. ONTARIO POWER PLANT— NIAGARA FALLS Typical view of concrete envelope, steel reinforcing and forms for No. 3 wood stave conduit 82 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 The completion of this unit has permitted the completion of the end wall of the power house and the substitution of permanent concrete structures for the wooden bulkheads formerly installed, to protect the plant from flooding due to high water in the Niagara river. Protective work is proceeding on the clifif to the north of the power house. Ontario Power Conduit A concrete envelope was constructed around a large part of No. 3 conduit at the Ontario Power plant, the work being carried out by the Construction department under the direction of the Hydraulic department. This conduit was built in 1918 as an emergency measure, along with the installation of two 15,000 horsepower units, additional power output being urgently required at that time. It is 6,850 feet long, 13 feet 6 inches in diameter, and, as a measure of economy — it being looked upon as a temporary installation — was built of 4-inch wood staves. A portion of it at each end was provided with a concrete envelope at the time of construction, but about 4,500 feet was left exposed in open trench. This is the portion that has now been provided with a concrete envelope. The improvement was required under agreement with the Queen \'ictoria Niagara Falls park, and makes this conduit a permanent water passage. The concrete in the envelope has a minimum thickness of 15 inches, is reinforced with two circumferential rings of plain round bars, designed for full water pressure without any allowance for the strength of the banding of the wood stave pipe. Sufficient longitudinal steel was used to resist the maximum temperature stresses expected. The conduit was kept in service throughout the whole period during which the concrete was being poured. Dominion Power and Transmission Company The Commission acquired the properties of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company during the >'ear, taking possession on August 14th. Included in these properties is the hydraulic plant at DeCew Falls, which draws its water supply from lake Erie via the Welland canal, and has a capacity of 52,000 horsepower. The operating head is 267 feet, and there is a storage basin of substantial capacity, which eventually will be of great value in conjunction with the existing plants of the Niagara system. Since the plant was acquired, some maintenance work has been done on the penstocks and tailrace. GEORGL\N BAY SYSTEM The first plant built by the Commission at Wasdells Falls, in 1913-1914, has been in continuous service since that time. Examination of the substructure of the power house some time ago showed that the concrete was eroded to a considerable depth, especially at and near water surface. Similar deterioration had taken place in the curtain wall of the power house, tailrace wall, and deck and piers of the dam. The plant was shut down during the past summer, and complete repairs effected to the whole power house substructure and to the floors and piers of the sluiceways. Gunite was used liberally, and foundations of piers and sluice- way floors were thoroughly repaired. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 83 Repairs were also required on the main dam at the ICuj^enia de\'elopment. This dam is of the Ambursen type, having a thin reinforced slab supported on buttresses. It is the principal structure used to form the large storage basin upon whicii the develojjmenl depends for its water supply in the prolonged periods of deficient ri\er flow. Inspection of the dam from time to time showed deterioration of some of the concrete in the structure, due to the action of the water. Repairs were effected, without interfering with the operation of the reservoir. The new part of the structure is independent of any original parts for strength or water-tightness. This dam was built in 1914, and these repairs are the first that ha\e been necessary. At the No. 2 plant at Bala, which was acquired by the Commission in 1929, where a single vertical propeller wheel is installed, it was necessary to reconstruct the throat ring and draft tube, which were found to be structurally weak. CHATS FALLS DEVELOPMENT— OTTAWA RIVER Main cofferdam from the downstream side EASTERN ONTARIO SYSTEM Chats Falls Development Work has proceeded rapidly on this new development on the Ottawa river. At the beginning of November, 1929, surveys were in progress on both sides of the river at the power site, those in "Ontario being carried out by the staff of the Commission, and those on the Quebec side by the Montreal Engineer- ing Company. These surveys developed the topography of land surfaces and river bed upon which the permanent pow^er development structures are being placed, and of the lands in the vicinity in any way affected by the works. At that time also, work was proceeding upon the clearing of the site and flooded areas, the construction of the main upstream cofferdam, the building of a railw'ay siding into the site and the erection of camps for living accommoda- tion of the working force. 84 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 The main cofferdam closes the channel about 2,200 feet wide between Mohr and Kidney islands, and extends to high ground on Mohr and \'ictoria islands. The portion spanning the channel between Mohr and Kidney islands is a pier and stop-log structure, which will permit the passage of flood waters through certain of the chutes to the right of the power house site. The maximum fiow of the river during the spring and early summer months of 1930 did not exceed 110,000 cubic feet per second, and it was therefore unnecessary to open the sluiceways in the cofferdam except for eighteen days in July, as the various chutes remaining unobstructed had sufficient discharging capacity to carry off the whole flow for all other periods at moderate stages of water level above the cofferdam. Behind the protection of the main cofferdam and in the channels unwatered by it, a secondary cofferdam was built to protect the power house site at times when the sluices are opened in the main cofferdam. The main and secondary cofferdams were completed by the middle of April, thus unwatering the power house site down to tailwater level. The tailwater coffer- dam was under construction by this time. The temporary buildings for accommodation of the working force are located on \'ictoria and Mohr islands. Provision is made for 1,440 men, half the space being provided on each of the islands named. A permanent railway connection to the Canadian National Railway, almost a mile in length, was built, and, in addition, more than two miles of standard gauge line to serve as construction railway. This latter line is carried from Kidney to Mohr island by the main cofferdam. Two permanent plate girder bridges were required for the permanent track. During the early months of the year, design of structures proceeded rapidly in the office, and the location of many of the permanent structures was finally determined based on conditions obtaining at the site. The location of the power house and sluice gates and the line of the dam between Chats island and Wolverine chute was determined after a careful examination of the ground. During the spring months, rock excavation proceeded at the power house site, and preparation of the dam foundation for pouring of concrete had been completed at a number of places. Concreting was commenced in June on a section of the gravity dam on Mohr island. During the summer months, con- struction proceeded rapidly in many sections of the development. A great por- tion of the bulkhead section of the dam was completed, as also were the Ragged chute and Wolverine chute sluices. At the end of the year, power house excava- tion was completed and concrete was being poured in headworks and foundation. The power house is designed to accommodate ten turbine units of 28,000 horsepower each, of which eight are to be installed at present, and the contract for these has been awarded to the Dominion Engineering Works of Montreal. The general contractors for the development are Morrow and Beatty of Peter- borough and Toronto. Madawaska District Increased storage facilities were necessary on the Madawaska river, to enable the Calabogie development to meet increasing load demands during periods of deficient river flow. The Calabogie development is one of those purchased from the M.J. O'Brien Company over a year ago, along with other developed and undeveloped power and storage sites in the district. The plant 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 85 CHATS FALLS DEVELOPMENT— OTTAWA RIVER Ragged chute sluices completed, October 31, 1930 Bulkhead dam on Chabot Island to right of power house General view of power house excavation, September 26th, 1930 86 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 had been called on to supply power for construction purposes at the new Chats Falls development on the Ottawa. To provide the required storage facilities, a dam at the outlet of Bark lake was rebuilt. The old dam was removed to the original apron level, and rebuilt to store a depth of six feet of water on the lake. The rebuilt dam is 350 feet long, half of rock-filled timber cribwork and half of earth fill. ALEXANDER POWER DEVELOPMENT— N I PI GON RIVER Water flowing over spillwall THUNDER BAY SYSTEM The Alexander power development on the Nipigon river came into service in October, 1930. This development is the second constructed on the river by the Commission and, like the first, supplies power to the Thunder Bay system. The Nipigon river from Lake Nipigon to I^ake Superior has a fall of about 250 feet, varying slightly with the relative stages of water level in the two lakes. Of this head, the Cameron Falls development utilized 75 feet, and the Alexander development 60 feet. About 100 feet of head is still available for development above the Cameron Falls plant. The last annual report gave a general description of the scheme of develop- ment, and showed views of the main and auxiliary dams taken toward the close of the construction season of 1929. With the opening of work in the spring of this year, work was pressed on the construction of the main dam, which is a semi-hydraulic earth fill. The heavy rock-filled toe that was built to ensure perfect drainage and to give stability to the dam, had been placed previously, and the foundation prepared before the present season. Material for the earth fill was obtained from borrow pits on the east bank of the river, whence it was taken in dump cars and dumped from trestles along each side of the central pool. Some of the borrow pits were in sand, while others were in pure clay, so that any mix desirable could be obtained by regulating the amount from each of the pits. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 87 ALEXANDER POWER DEVELOPMENT NIPIGON RIVER Main dam, looking toward power house Sluicing was done by two monitors, each placed on a float in the segregation pool. Pressure was supplied by centrifugal pumps, direct connected to electric motors. The pumps were 6 inch by 6 inch two-stage units, equipped with nickel-iron impellers to resist the heavy abrasive action of water carrying a large percentage of silt. The total yardage in the dam is about 800.000 cubic yards, of which 650,000 cubic yards is semi-hydraulic fill, and from the time the season opened in May, up to the end of September, there were 580,000 cubic yards placed, the rate being greatest in June, when about 159,000 cubic yards were placed. The nature of the river bed upstream from the dam called for a protecting blanket of clay. This was sluiced in from material on either side of the river to a depth ranging from four to six feet and extending upstream about 400 or 500 feet. ALEXANDER POWER DEVELOPMENT— Nl PIGON RIVER Headworks 88 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 In the interest of economy in the design of the headworks, the superstructure, usually considered necessary where low winter temperatures are experienced, was omitted. The motors and hoists for operation of the head gates are housed in a structure, about 7 feet high, along the upstream side of the power house. The placing and removal of stop-logs, racks and head gates is done b}' a loco- motive crane operating on a standard gauge track on the headworks deck. All openings over the stop-log and rack checks have matched plank covers fitted for quick handling, so that with the concrete curtain walls extending below low headwater level for each intake, the gate checks and racks are well protected. In addition to this, openings are provided, through which the warm air from the power house has free access to the space below the headworks deck. Provision has also been made for the provision of electric heaters, if found necessary. Construction work was practically completed by the end of the third week in September, 1930. Plans were made for the closure of the outlets of the diversion channel to the left of the power house, through which all the water of the Nipigon river passed during construction of the dam. For several days before the closure, the headpond levels at the Cameron Falls station were regu- lated to meet the period of shut-down without wasting into the Alexander reach, and to allow ample time to draw down the Alexander headwater pool to permit the steel gates to be placed in the diversion sluiceways. When the time came for making the closure, the gates were assembled above their respective openings, and suspended on "A" frames in readiness for lowering into the checks. On Sunday, September 28, at 4 a.m., the Cameron Falls plant was closed down and the flow in the river completely stopped, the forebay at the Cameron Falls plant receiving and holding the whole flow of the river coming dowm from lake Nipigon. By 7 a.m., the water in the Alexander reach had fallen so low that only a shallow stream was passing through the two sluices. The gates were dropped into place and sealed. At 10.25 a.m., the entire closure had been completed, and by 10.45 the Cameron Falls plant was again carrying load. Early the following morning, the forebay at Alexander had been filled to oper- ating level, and water began to flow over the spillwall, and by evening the depth of flow over the spillwall was three feet. Under the full head, all structures proved to be entirely water-tight. The first unit was turned over on October 1, and commercial load was first carried on October 21. NORTHERN ONTARIO SYSTEM Nipissing District Continuing a policy of progressively renewing and improving structures used for storage of water in this system, a concrete sluice and weir was built at the Craig Lake dam. This is one of a number of dams used to control the lakes tributary to the South river, for the purpose of conserving water for power development. The portions of the dam replaced were built of rock-filled timber cribwork. The new portions are thus of a much more permanent character. Investigations were carried on regarding damages due to flooding on Wahnapitae lake, and the rights to flood certain lands to an additional depth of two feet were purchased. The storage dam at the outlet of the lake was completed in time to conserve the spring run-oft in 1930. A temporary side dam was built at plant No. 2. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 89 Patricia District The generating station at liar Falls, on the English river, was completed early in the fiscal year, and the unit was first turned over on Christmas day, 1929. The plant was built to suppily power for mining development in the district, and has been carrying such a load since the early part of the year. There is one unit, having a capacity of 5,000 horsepower under a head of 36 feet, but the plant is designed for e.xtension later, if necessary, to develop 30,000 horsepower. A control dam was built at Manitou rapids, on the P2nglish river, about 15 miles downstream from Ear Falls. The design and supervision of this was handled by the staff of the Commission for the Northern Development Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests of the Province of Ontario. A year ago, navigation improvements were made in the route by way of the English and Chukuni rivers to Red lake. During periods of deficient flow in the English river, navigation depths were reduced to such an extent as to hamper navigation in that part of the English river between Ear Falls and the mouth of the Chukuni river. The dam at Manitou rapids raises the water level in the English river between Ear Falls and Manitou, thus increasing the navigable depth. HYDRAULIC INVESTIGATIONS Nipigon River With the completion of the Alexander Power development on the Nipigon river, the lower portion of the river from the headwater of the Cameron Falls development to lake Superior is completely developed. There remains a poten- tial development of somewhat more than 100 feet between the Cameron Falls development and lake Nipigon. Several alternatives are possible. The whole head may be developed at one site, or at two sites; in the latter method it is possible to make different divisions of the total head between the two sites. In order to permit careful study of the various possibilites, and to ensure the choice of the most economical arrangement, extensive surveys were carried out on this portion of the river and the topography was developed in detail at possible power sites. Studies of the information collected on this survey are progressing. Investigations have also continued on a number of other prospective power developments on the Mississagi, Aux Sables, Musquash and South Muskoka rivers. Hydraulic tests were made at the Elliott Chute and Bingham Chute plants on the South river, and the Trethewey development on the South Muskoka. St. Lawrence River Reference was made in the last annual report to the appointment by the Ontario government of the chief engineer and chief hydraulic engineer as a committee to co-operate with the Canadian section of the Joint Engineering Board, which has been investigating power and navigation developments on the river. A number of conferences were held and a plan agreed upon, by which differences in various Canadian schemes for development of the International reach of the river were adjusted. In connection with the proposed development of the St. Lawrence river, further studies were made respecting the protection of the villages of Morrisburg and Iroquois from flood damage. 90 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 SECTION V ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION (STATION SECTION) NIAGARA SYSTEM Generating Stations on the Niagara River Number ten generator at Queenston generating station with transformers and switching equipment was placed in service in July. The generator differs from the other machines in that it is a totally enclosed unit and the cooling air is re-circulated through water-coolers. An automatic system of fire-protection apparatus using carbon dioxide was permanently installed with No. 10 generator. Similar equipment was completed for the other generators. Transformer and Distributing Stations Niagara District — The new transformer stations at Welland. Thorold, Port Colborne and Cyanamid mentioned in last year's Annual Report were completed during the year, A new pole-type station known as Beaverdam distributing station, consisting of a bank of three 150-kv-a. transformers and the necessary switching and metering equipment, was installed at the Thorold transformer station site.

A brief summary of the year's operations shows that 95,229 permits were issued, a decrease of 647, or less than one per cent from 1929. The total number of inspections made was 186,891, this beiiij; a decrease of 2,799 or 1.5 per cent. 120 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Automobile mileage in 1930 amounted to 431,940 miles as compared with 405,873 in 1929; an increase of 26,067 miles or 6 per cent. This additional mileage was due to the greater number of rural inspections made in 1930 than in 1929. Nine fires were reported as having been caused by defective electric wiring or apparatus. In several instances of infractions of the Rules and Regulations there was no alternative but to take Court proceedings with the result that in prac- tically every instance fines were imposed. It is with regret that we record the deaths of five persons as having been caused by electrocution. Two of these deaths were strictly accidental, but the other three were the result of carelessness and could have been avoided. In these cases, three men, electricians, were working on li\'e apparatus which should, and could have been made dead. Along with the regular routine of inspecting new wiring installations and equipment, the Department makes inspections of the older and more obsolete type, which from general wear and tear have come to the stage where they constitute a life and fire hazard. The wiring in 4,815 such buildings and premises was overhauled at an approximate cost of S500,000 during the past year. Included in these figures is practically every church in the Province by reason of the fact that insurance companies give a substantial reduction in insurance rates if the electrical installation is found to comply with the require- ments, and the assured can produce the certificate of approval from the Inspection Department covering the church's wiring and equipment. In January, 1930, the second edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, was adopted by the Commission as the ninth edition of its Rules and Regulations and became effective throughout the Province on June 1, 1930. This edition supersedes the eighth edition which has been completely revised and re-arranged, in order to take advantage of the experience gained and keep in line with recent developments in the field. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 121 SECTION VIII ELECTRIC RAILWAYS ESSEX DISTRICT RAILWAYS Way and Structures Track construction, which was commenced in 1929 on Sandwich street in the town of Sandwich and on London street in the city of Windsor, was com- pleted during the year. The double track construction on Sandwich street in Sandwich, between Rosedale avenue and Detroit street, referred to in last year's report, was com- pleted and was placed in operation on the 18th of December, 1929. This double track, which is the standard paved monolithic type, is located in the centre of the widened street and replaces the former open double track located on the south side of the street on private right-of-way. Tubular steel poles were also erected for the joint use of the municipality and the railway. This work was covered by agreement between the municipality and the Commission and in accordance with this agreement the municipality has purchased the private right-of-way, formerly occupied by the railway trackage, and has paid the cost of pavement on the track allowance. On London street in Windsor the double track reconstruction programme referred to in last year's report was completed. The portion of track recon- structed this year extends from Janette street to Ouellette avenue. That portion of the work between Janette street and X'ictoria avenue is of the standard paved monolithic type of construction, while the remainder from \'ictoria avenue to Ouellette avenue consists of 100 lb. A.R.A., A. rail on oak ties and crushed stone ballast, with concrete paving base and brick pavement. The former portion was placed in operation on September .12, while the reconstruction of the latter portion was performed under traffic. At the request of the municipalities of the city of East Windsor and Sandwich East township, the single open track on Tecumseh road, between George street and Pillette road, was moved from the north side of the road to the open track reservation in the centre of the road. This work was done in connection with the paving programme of these municipalities and at their expense. A physical connection between the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Railway single track on Howard avenue and the double track of this system on Erie street in Windsor was constructed to permit of the interchange of traffic between the two sj'stems. 122 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 At the intersection of Ottawa street and Monmouth road in Walkerville an additional curve was installed in the special work, making a complete double track Wye installation at this point. During the year the Sandwich street highway bridge over the Canadian National Railway in Walkerville was reconstructed by the town of Walkerville. This work necessitated the reconstruction of the single street-car track which also traverses this bridge and its approaches. Also involved was the construction of a temporary track and bridge to permit of the continued operation of the Tecumseh division traffic. All bridgework was performed by the town of Walkerville and trackwork by the railway forces. Operation over the temporary facilities thus provided extended from May 27 to August 30, when operation over the new bridge was commenced. The new track is located, as formerly, on the north side of the approaches and bridge proper, the construction on the west approach and across the bridge being of the open type and on the east approach of standard monolithic type. This project is governed by Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada Order No. 42618, dated 14th May, 1929, and amending Order No. 44201, dated 17th January, 1930, the subdivision of costs being as follows: — "Canadian National Railways 55 per cent not exceeding a lump sum of $60,000; town of Walkerville 20 per cent; city of Windsor 15 per cent and Hydro-Electric Railways 10 per cent." The amending order also provides that, in the event of 55 per cent of the total cost of the bridge being in excess of the $60,000 apportioned to the Canadian National Railways, such excess to be borne by the town of Walkerville. Maintenance costs are sub- divided on the basis of the above mentioned percentages. Construction of the Wyandotte street highway extension, referred to in the 1924 annual report, was commenced by the city of East Windsor in October. This extension will connect Wyandotte street in Walkerville with Ottawa street in East Windsor and involves the construction of subways under the Fere Marquette Railway in Walkerville and the Canadian National Railways in East Windsor. It is proposed to construct a double track street-car line along this extension which is approximately 4,000 feet in length. The route of the extension as finally adopted, will permit the under-crossing of the Canadian National Railway by both the new extension and the existing Drouillard road, by means of the same subway. Negotiations have been carried on throughout the year and the Board of Railway Commissioners' Orders have been issued authorizing the work in East Windsor, but to date, division of cost has only been made of the Drouillard road portion of the subway, in which portion the street railway is not interested. It is expected that similar negotiations on the part of the town of Walkerville will result .in the authorization by the Board of the under- crossing of the Pere Marquette Railway and that this work can be commenced in a short time. Operation The gross revenue for the year 1930 amounted to $1,027,759, as compared with $1,241,042 in 1929, a decrease of $213,283. The operating expenses amounted to $876,160 as compared with $929,689 in 1929, a decrease of $53,529. The net operating revenue for the year 1930 was $151,599, as compared with a net of $305,962 in 1929, a decrease of $154,363. The interest and taxes for the year 1930 amounted to $279,090, as compared with $266,881 for the year 1929, an increase in fixed charges of $12,209. 193 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 123 ESSEX DISTRICT RAILWAYS— OPERATING STATISTICS GROSS REVENUE -_ -_---"-- ~~1- "_-_ - TOTAL EXPENSES 1 - - = ~ - _ -_-_ -_-- -------- - ----- ~'^---_- - -~ 0 _ NET OPERATING REV ENUE EXCLUDING TAXES 1 _l_ ~ 1 _~ ~r ~ ^ t - ~~ ^ ~- in nrtA ----- —i - 10 000 ' PASSENG ER REVENUE ' -_ ~ ~ ~ 1 — _ __ _ _ Q .

The number of revenue passengers carried during the last four months falling to the lowest point in six years. There was also a further reduction in freight tonnage from 12,540 tons in the year 1929 to 5,748 tons in the year 1930. The shipments to the export docks ceased entirely after May, 1930, and all freight shipments on the Tecumseh division were stopped bj' the removal of the Ford interchange with the C.N.R., on account of the construction of a subway under the C.N.R. tracks. The net result of the year's operations shows a deficit of S12 7,491 after paying interest and taxes, but without taking care of depreciation, as compared with a surplus of $44,471 in 1929. Passenger revenue decreased $198,936 and freight revenue $10,539 as compared wnth 1929. Gross revenue decreased $213,283. In conjunction with the Detroit street railway, a bus service over the Ambassador bridge was started in November, 1929, and at the start promised to do well, but due to industrial conditions in the Border Cities and in Detroit, the traffic fell off considerably towards the end of the year. The opening of the Detroit-Windsor tunnel in November, 1930, will, it is expected, reduce business to such an extent that the continued operation of this service will not be warranted. This service had total earnings amounting to $50,678 with operating expenses of $58,280, resulting in a deficit of $7,602. The W. E. & L. S. Railway will shortly operate a local service on Howard avenue and the Howard avenue bus line will be discontinued. This will effect a saving of approximately $25,000 a year to the Essex district.

WINDSOR, ESSEX & LAKE SHORE RAILWAY WINDSOR, ESSEX & LAKE SHORE RAILWAY On September 8, 1929, the operation of the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Rapid Railway was taken over by the Commission under agreement with the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Electric Railway Association, the latter body, representing a number of municipalities traversed by the railway, having purchased the line from the original owners, the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Rapid Railway Company, at a cost of $296,000. This railway consists of 36.12 miles of standard gauge singe-track extending from the intersection of Pitt street and Ouelette avenue in downtown Windsor to Leamington, with numerous industrial sidings along the route. In Windsor, Essex, Cottam, Kingsville and Leamington the track is situated in the centre of the street, while on the balance of the line it is constructed on a narrow strip of private right-of-way of \'arying widths, adjacent to the highway. Way and Structures Rehabilitation of the entire system has proceeded throughout the year and is now practically completed. Approximately 55,000 cedar ties and 7,000 pairs of angle bars hav^e been installed. The open track throughout has been lifted and lined. Special work 126 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 has been repaired or replaced, culverts have been repaired and the entire line has been bonded. The single paved track through the town of Essex has been reconstructed, for a distance of approximately 4,000 feet. This work was done to conform with the municipality's street widening scheme. The work involved the installation of new 100 lb. A.R.A., A, rail throughout, on the existing oak ties and concrete foundation, and the laying of new paving base and brick pavement. All rail joints are thermit welded. A siding has been constructed on Howard avenue, Windsor, near Tecumseh road to provide a passing point for a local service to be inaugurated on Howard avenue. The siding is of paved construction, with 80 lb. A.S.C.E. rail on oak ties and stone ballast, concrete paving base and brick pavement. The equilateral turnouts at each end provide for the accommodation of both steam and electric railway equipment. The widening of Arthur street by the city of Windsor occasioned the reconstruction of 700 feet of paved single track on the new centre line of the street. Construction is of 80 lb. A.S.C.E. rail on cedar ties with tie plates, crushed stone, ballast, concrete paving, base and brick pavement, rail joints being thermit welded. The municipality contributed $9,000 towards the cost of this work. A new spur has been constructed to serve the new freight shed in Leamington. A new spur, approximately half-a-mile in length, has been constructed from the main line near Leamington to Seacliff park. This spur is located on a 66-foot, private right-of-way and is of the open type of construction wdth used 80 lb. A.S.C.E. rail, on cedar ties and stone ballast. Additional freight shed accommodation has been constructed both at Kingsville and at Leamington and arrangements made with the local Fruit Growers' Associations whereby the latter will pay the carrying charges on the cost of construction. The overhead system was reconstructed throughout the entire length of the line. Poles belonging to the Power department of the Commission were utilized for a distance of approximately ten miles north of Essex and three miles north of Kingsville. On the remainder of the line, pole replacements were made where necessary. The catenary construction consists of 7/16 inch steel strand messenger with 4/0 grooved copper contact wire supported on existing mast arms. The new feeder consists of a 636,000 cm. steel reinforced aluminum cable extending from Erie street in Windsor to Ruthven, and a 954,000 cm. cable from Ruthven to Leamington. The telephone system has been rehabilitated throughout, iron wire, where it existed, being replaced by copper. Equipment Four new motor car and one trail car bodies were secured from the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Company. These car bodies are all steel, of modern stream line design with extra large windows and are the first cars of this type to be used in Canada. Particular attention has been paid to appearance, finish and comfort. Special spring construction is provided in the seats and the trail car is equipped as a parlour car with lounge type settees in each of the two end 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 127 WINDSOR, ESSEX & LAKE SHORE RAILWAY AT PELTON compartments. Trucks purchased from the National Steel Car Company of Hamilton are also of a modern design to provide easy riding qualities. The electric motive equipment consists of four used 100 h.p. Westinghouse motors geared for somewhat over 65 m.p.h. on level track. Multiple unit control is used with automatic draw bars so that two or more cars can be operated in train. In providing for the two locomotives necessary it was found possible to obtain five used modern trucks and motors in first-class condition at very attractive prices. One set of trucks was installed under a used locomotive body secured from the Canadian National Electric Railway and the other under one of the express cars taken over with the Railway and remodelled. Power The original programme contemplated the installation of three manually operated substations located at Maidstone, Cottam and Ruthven. Subsequently it was found possible to rearrange the rehabilitation programme to permit the purchase and installation of automatic equipment, which will result in more economical operation. Each station consists of one 500 kw. rotary converter with high-tension transformers and automatic switching equipment. Operation In considering the results of the first year of operation of the W. E. & L. S. Railway, consideration should be given to the fact that it was a period of rehabilitation in its entirety. Between September 8, 1929 and August 15, 1930, many conditions existed which prevented securing an increase of business. 128 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 WINDSOR, ESSEX & LAKE SHORE RAILWAY Passenger car WINDSOR.

Furthermore the restricted faciUties that could be offered for the handhng of freight and express also prevented any material increase being shown, in fact, the railway was fortunate to be able to hold what business there was left. It was not possible to cater to the summer traffic or excursion business on account of lack of facilities. The equipment was also of such a nature that it was not conducive to attracting business. The cost of operation was consider- ably increased on account of having to hold the old equipment and power stations together until the 600-volt power was available. During the year the entire purchase cost of the buses was wiped off and charged to operation, amounting to practically S4,000. The rental for the temporary transformers from the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, amounting to S2,600 was also charged against operation, as was also the changing of the intake pipes into the Kingsville power station, which accounted for another $3,000. The industrial depression brought about a condition which has retarded and will continue to retard to some extent the growth of revenue. All of the savings that can be effected in the operating costs, do not up to the present time show in the report for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1930. Many cf them were placed in eftect after that date and there are a few more changes yet which will tend further to reduce operating costs. The estimate for the cost of operation was approximately SI 75,000. It is believed that it will be possible to reach this point at an early date. The passenger revenue until October 31 remained practically stationery. This should increase during the ensuing year. The revenue from freight operation showed decided increases towards the latter part of the year and the outlook seems better for the coming year, notwithstand- ing the industrial depression. For instance, the Heinz Company at Leamington has not shipped any of its product for export. The canning factories at Kingsville and Essex have shipped onl}- one car in the last six months. These conditions are the result of the unsettled trade conditions. Arrangements were completed with the Canadian National Express whereby the rate paid to the \\\ E. & L. S. Ry. was increased 100 per cent which will mean approximately $6,000 to $8,000 a year.

E. & L. S., this traffic at present being handled by buses operated by the S. \V. & A. The cost of this operation, with 15-minute service, will be in the neighborhood of S2,600 to $2,700 a month and the revenue about S3, 100. This revenue a year ago ran up as high as 86,500 a month, the total revenue for the 3'ear 1929 being approximately 864,000. The total operating cost for the year should be approximately 832,000, so that even during the present depression a substantial profit should be earned which will be greatly increased with a return to normal conditions. This amount of business can be handled on the present service without any difficulty. As will be seen by the charts, the road when taken over was not paying its operating expenses by approximately 87,000 a month. This has been changed, so that the earnings for July, August, September and October show a total surplus of operating expenses of approximately 85,200. There will be two or three of the winter months, December, January, February and March, and possibly April, that will probably fail to produce sufficient revenue to pay the operating expenses, as these are always the light months in the year, and at present are affected seriously by the prevailing industrial depression, but with any return towards normal conditions, the balance of the year should offset these poorer months and provide something towards the capital charges. While the revenues at the present time are not as great as were anticipated on account of conditions, it is believed, after a careful study, that the Railway will be able to produce sufficient revenue to take care of its requirements. GUELPH DISTRICT RAILWAYS Way and Structures The Suffolk route, referred to in the 1929 report, consisting of approximately one mile of single track, has been abandoned and the car service replaced by buses which commenced operation on August 14. A new spur track one quarter of a mile in length with passing siding has been constructed on the grounds of the Ontario Agricultural College, to serve the new heating plant installed at the college. All freight traffic to and from the college will be routed over this track which was built at the expense of the Pro\'incial Department of Public Works. Construction is of the open type with 80 lb. A.S.C.E. relay rail on cedar ties and stone ballast. The track on the system has been maintained to a satisfactory standard and the overhead system has been overhauled throughout. Equipment The abandonment of the Suffolk car route released one passenger car from service and this car has been transferred to Windsor for ser\ice on the Essex District Railways. Three new buses were purchased. Two of these are 25 passenger city-type vehicles while the third is a 29-passenger de luxe bus for chartered business. Of the two smaller buses, one is used to replace the street car service on the Suffolk route and the other to supplement both the city services and the chartered bus service inaugurated with the purchase of the de luxe bus. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 133 GUELPH DISTRICT RAI LWAYS— I NTERURBAN COACH Parlor coach seating 29 passengers GUELPH DISTRICT RAILWAYS— CITY BUS 134 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 The chasses of the smaller buses were purchased from the General Motors Products Limited and the bodies built by the Commercial Motors Bodies and Carriages Company of Guelph, while the larger bus was furnished entirely by the General Motors Products Limited. Operation The operating revenue for the Guelph District Railways for 1930 was $86,278 as compared with $88,145 in 1929. The total operating expenses for the year 1930 were $81,091 as compared with $80,132 in 1929. Taxes for the year 1930 amounted to $515 as compared with $1,348 in 1929. The net operating revenue for the year 1930 was $5,187 as compared with $8,014 in 1929. The interest and debenture payments were $26,900 as compared with $26,215 in 1929. The renewal set aside was $10,701 as compared with $10,252 in 1929. The deficit for the year 1930 amounted to $32,929, as compared with $29,802 in 1929. Included in the above deficit is $7,307 which has been set aside each year for amortizing the original value of the railway line previous to the transfer of this line to the Hydro-Electric Power Commission; and also an interest charge of $4,393 and a renewal account of $10,701. The freight business for the year 1930 increased slightly over that for the year 1929, partly due to building operations at the Ontario Agricultural College, but the number of passengers carried was smaller due to the reduced industrial activity. Earnings from special bus trips amounted to $1,000 in the four months the new buses were in operation.

The "Hydro" electrical undertaking of Ontario is an organization of a large number of partner municipalities co-ordinated into groups or systems for securing common action with respect to power supplies, through the medium of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission which under the Power Commission Act functions as their trustee. The undertaking as a whole, embracing all the operations from the provision of the power down to its final delivery to the ultimate consumer, involves two distinct phases of operations. The FIRST phase of operations is the provision of the electrical power — either by generation or purchase — and its transformation, transmission and delivery in wholesale quantities to individual municipal utilities, to large industrial con- sumers, and to rural power districts. This phase of the operations is performed by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario as trustee for the munici- palities acting collectively in groups or "systems," and the financial statements relating to these collective activities of the municipalities are presented in this section of the Annual Report. The SECOND phase of operations is the retail distribution of electrical energy to consumers within the limits of the areas served by the various municipal utilities and rural power districts. In the case of rural power districts, which usually embrace within their confines portions of more than one township, the Hydro- Electric Power Commission not only provides the power at wholesale, but also — on behalf of the respective individual townships — attends to all physical and financial operations connected with the distribution of energy at retail to the consumers within the rural power districts.* The financial statements relating to the rural power districts are also presented in this section of the report. In the case of cities, towns, many villages and certain thickly populated areas of townships, retail distribution of electrical energy provided by the Commission is in general conducted by individual local municipal utility com- missions under the general supervision of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The balance sheets, operating reports and statistical data relating to such individual electrical utilities are presented in Section X of this report. *For further information respecting rural power districts consult latter portion of Section III in this Report. B8 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Having the foregoing distinctions respecting wholesale and retail electrical service in mind, the following brief notes will assist to an understanding of the economic structure and of the general plan of administration of the undertaking, and will make clearer the financial tables herein presented. The basic principle governing the financial operations of the undertaking is that electrical service be given by the Commission to the municipalities and by the municipalities to the ultimate consumers at cost. The charges for power supplied by the Commission to the various munici- palities var>' with the amounts of power used, the distances from the sources of supply and other factors. The entire capital cost of the various power develop- ments and transmission systems is annually allocated to the connected munici- palities and other wholesale power consumers, according to the relative use made of the lines and equipment. Each municipality assumes responsibility for that portion of property employed in providing and transmitting power for its use, together with such expenses — including the cost of purchased power if any — as are incidental to the provision and delivery of its wholesale power. The entire annual expenses — including appropriations for reserves, — incurred by the Commission in the supply of power at wholesale are thus paid out of revenues collected in respect of such power, through the medium of power bills rendered by the Commission. The municipalities are billed at an estimated interim rate each month during the year and credit or debit adjustment is made at the end of the year,* when the Commission's books are closed and the actual cost pa^'able by each municipality for power received has been determined. Included in the municipality's remittance to the Commission for the whole- sale cost of power — besides such direct expenses as those for operation and maintenance of plant, for administration, and for interest on capital — are sums required to build up reserves for sinking fund, for renewals, and for obsolescence and contingencies. The first-mentioned reserve is for the purpose of liquidating the capital liabilities; consequently, as capital obligations are discharged the plant will progressively be freed from interest expense. The other reserves are, respectively, being created to provide funds for the replacing or rebuilding of plant as it wears out; to enable the undertaking to replace existing equipment with improved equipment as it becomes available through advances in science and invention, and to meet unforeseen expenses which from time to time may arise. The ultimate source of all revenue to meet costs — whether for the larger operations of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission or for the smaller local operations of the municipalities — is, of course, the consumer. Out of the total revenue collected by each municipal utility from its consumers for service supplied, only an amount sufficient to pay the wholesale cost of power supplied by the Commission as outlined above is remitted to the Commission; the balance of municipal electrical revenue is retained to pay for the expense incurred by the local utility in distributing the electrical energy to its consumers. The results obtained by the annual adjustments of the Commission's capital investment, operating expenses and fi.xed charges, as they aflfect individual municipalities are shown in the tables for the respective systems. For the purpose of financial statement, the various systems are treated as separate units and for *The financial year for the Commission ends on October 31. The financial year for the municipal electric utilities, however, ends on December 31, and the municipal accounts are made up to this date, and so recorded in Section X. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 139 each of them similar statements and details are presented. Many of the pages which follow, therefore, simply repeat for each system data similar to those which are presented for the first system dealt with in each division of the report, namely, the Niagara system. In order, therefore, to possess a ready grasp of all the figures presented in this and other similar reports of the Commission, all that is necessary is to have a true understanding of the financial procedure followed in connection with one system and with one municipal "Hydro" utility. The accounts of the Hydro-lClectric Power Commission of Ontario are verified by auditors specially ai^iJcMnled by the Provincial Government. The accounts of the "Hydro" utility of each individual municipality are prepared according to approved and standard practice and are also duly audited. Tabular Data The first tabular statement given in Section IX is a general balance sheet exhibiting the assets and liabilities of the undertaking and relates to the properties constructed or otherwise acquired and being operated by the Commission as trustee for the municipalities of the various systems. The general balance sheet is followed by groups of statements relating in turn to each system of the Commission. These statements, for each system, are similar in character and include: — Operating Account for the year, showing, for the system as a whole, the various items of operating expense and fixed charges entering into the cost of power as defined by the Power Commission Act, and the revenues collected by the Commission from the partner municipalities and other consumers. Cost of Power statement, which shows the apportionment to each municipalit}' or rural powder district of the items of cost summarized in the Operating Account, as well as the apportionment of the capital expenditures listed in the balance sheet and the amount of power taken by each muni- cipality. It should be appreciated that the cost of power given in this table is the w'holesale cost,^ — that is, the cost which the Commission receives for the power delivered from the main transformer stations serving the local utility or rural power district. In the case of rural power districts, the costs of power for the respective districts appear also in the "Rural Operating" statement, immediately following, as "Cost of power delivered"; in the case of municipal electrical utilities not directly administered by the Commission, the respective costs of power appear in Statement "B" of Section X as Power purchased."* Rural Operating statement, which shows for each rural pow'er district the various items of cost, and the revenues received, in connection wdth the distribution of electrical energy to consumers. Credit or Charge statement, which shows the adjustments made in order to bring the amounts paid by each municipal electric utility to the actual cost of service to that municipality. These credits and charges are taken up and given effect to in the municipal accounts of "Hydro" utilities before the operating records of each year are closed. Reserve for Renewals, which shows the provisions made for, the expenditures from, and the balances to the credit of, this fund. Reserve for Obsolescence and Contingencies, which gives similar information with respect to this reserve. •Consult footnote on previous page. 140 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 Sinking Fund statement, which gives the accumulated total of the amounts paid by each municipality and rural power district as part of the cost of power together with its proportionate share of other sinking funds. Sinking Fund Reserve, which summarizes the provisions made with respect to this fund. Section IX also contains operating accounts of the various electric railways operated by the Commission, and a summary of the "Appropriations, Advances and Capital Expenditures" made during the year. All municipal "Hydro" utilities have current expenses to meet similar to the expenses of the Commission and have adopted the same financial procedure with respect to their operations. In other words, concurrently wuth the creation of funds to liquidate their debt to the Commission and to provide the necessary reserve to protect generating, transforming, and transmission systems, the municipalities are taking similar action with respect to their local "Hydro" utility systems. The balance sheets, operating reports and statistical data appearing in Section X, under the heading of "Municipal Accounts," relate to the operation of local distribution systems by individual municipalities which have contracted with the Commission for their supply of electrical energy. To this section there is an explanatory introduction to which the reader is specially referred. To illustrate further the foregoing explanatory comments, there is presented herewith a typical operating statement of an Ontario municipal electrical utility, covering its financial operations, both as a partner in a system of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission, and as administrator of its own local distribution system.

This Hydro utility complied with every monetary obligation imposed upon it by the Power Commission Act. With the close of the fifteenth year of operation, this utility's total assets are 8840,719.33, liabilities, 8295,045.49, and reserves and surplus, 8545.673.84, as shown in the municipalities' balance sheets, in Section X. Statement "A." By reference to this municipality's balance sheet, it will be noted that the Chatham "Hydro" utility has created a sinking fund equity amounting to 8160.923.97 in the Hydro-Electric Power Commission System. By reference to Statement "D" in Section X of this report it will be seen that under the low rate schedules prevailing throughout the Province, the rates in force in Chatham have resulted in average costs* to the various classes of service as follows: Domestic service (with an average monthly consumption per consumer of 100 kilowatt-hours) 1.7 cents per kilowatt-hour; commercial service 1.6 cents per kilowatt-hour. The actual rates in force are presented in Statement "E" and particulars of street lighting service are given in Statement "C." *If proper differentiation be made by those undertaking research, between the very different entities of rates on the one hand and the derived quantities of average costs or revenues on the other, a great deal of confusion and misrepresentation will be avoided.

Financial statements prepared from the books of these "Hydro" utilities are submitted herein to show how each has operated during the past year, and the financial status at the present time. Other tables give much useful statistical information respecting average costs for the various classes of service and the rates in force. The books of account of the local electrical utilities in all municipalities which have contracted with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario for a supply of power are kept in accordance with a uniform accounting system designed by the Commission. During the year 1930, the uniform accounting system was installed in the following municipalities as each became ready for the service: Brighton, Port Hope, Napanee, Madoc, Stirling, Cardinal and Windermere. Periodical inspections are made of the books of all "Hydro" electrical utilities and local officials are assisted in the improvement of their office routine with a view to standardizing, as far as possible, the methods employed. In the majority of the smaller municipalities, much of the bookkeeping for the electrical utilities is performed by representatives of the Municipal Audit department of the Commission, in order to insure the employment of proper classifications of revenues and expenditures, to save time in preparation of reports, to insure com- pliance with all the requirements of the standard accounting system, and to make certain that the accounts represent as truly as possible the actual operating results for the year. The first financial statement in this section presents consolidated balance sheets for each year since 1912, and thus shows the march of progress. It com- 256 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 bines the balance sheets of the local municipal utilities of all the systems. It is worth noting that the total plant value has increased from 810,081,469.16 in 1913 to 880,129,286.29 in 1930, and the total assets from 811,907,826.86 to 8116,400,634.91. The liabilities have not increased in the same proportion as the assets, rising from 810,468,351.79 to 850,141,429.00. The reason for this is that much of the cost of the increasing plant value has been financed out of surplus and reserve accounts without increasing the liabilities of the various systems. By this procedure the funds of the systems are used to best advantage. Examination of the results will also show that there is a steady decline in the percentage of net liabilities to total assets; being from 88.0 per cent in 1913 to 46.0 per cent in 1930. The equities in the Hydro-Electric Power Commission's systems automatically acquired through the inclusion of sinking funds as part of the cost of power are not taken into account in arriving at these percentages. The second financial statement presents consolidated operating reports for each year since "Hydro" service was inaugurated and combines the results from the local municipal utilities of all the systems. Study of this statement will show that the revenue has been increasing satisfactorily. The combined annual surplus, after providing for every cost of operation and fixed charges, including an adequate depreciation charge, amounted in 1930 to $1,900,694.51. The five statements, "A" to "E," following the two consolidated reports show the financial status of each municipal system and the results of operations, and also give information respecting revenue, number of consumers and con- sumption; cost of power to municipalities; power and lighting rates charged to consumers, etc. In the statements "A" and "B," the municipalities are arranged alphabetically under each system; in statement "D" the municipalities are arranged in three groups — cities, towns and small municipalities; in statements "C" and "E" all municipalities are arranged alphabetically. Statement "A" shows balance sheets for each municipality with the plant values subdivided into the general natural subdivisions specified in the standard accounting system, and there are also shown the other items which make up the total assets. It is to be noted that among the assets there are items entitled "equity in H-E.P.C. systems." These items represent the amount of accumulated sinking fund paid by the various municipalities through the medium of "power cost" toward the ultimate retirement of the capital invested by the Hydro- Electric Power Commission on behalf of the partner municipalities. The total accumulation to the end of 1930 is shown on the consolidated balance sheet to be 817,346,372.44. During the year rebates were made in man>- municipalities in respect to surpluses standing to the credit of municipal street lighting and waterworks services, and to individual consumers, of amounts varying from one-sixth to one-fourth of the previous year's revenue. These rebates amounted in round figures to approximately $278,600.00 and aftected the cash balances and surpluses in the current balance sheets accordingly. In each case the balance sheet is complete and final, including either in "accounts receivable," or "accounts payable," the adjustments with the H\dro- Electric Power Commission of the differences between the estimated and the actual costs of power to the municipality. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 237 The liabilities of each local system are set out under their general sub- divisions,— debenture balance, accounts payable, bank overdraft, and other liabilities; this last account including local debentures issued by municipalities to finance ornamental street-lighting systems as local improvements. The reserves for depreciation, and the acquired equity in the Hydro-P21ectric Power Commission's systems, are also listed separately and totalled; and under the heading "surplus" are included not only the free operating profit but the accumulation of sinking fund applicable to debenture debt and also the amount of debentures already retired out of revenue. The "depreciation reserve" now amounts to 18.23 per cent of the total depreciable plant, while the "depreciation reserve" and "surplus" combined have already reached the sum of $47,338,177.73, approximating 59.15 per cent of the total plant cost. Statement "B" shows detailed operating reports for each municipal electrical utility. It gives annual revenues from the various classes of consumers; the items of expenditure which make up the total annual expenditure; the amount of the annual surpluses and the sums set aside for depreciation. The population served by each local utility, and the number of consumers of each class, are also shown. The item "power purchased" includes the annual adjustment made by the Commission, and hence shows for the calendar year the actual cost to the muni- cipal electrical utility and not the cost at the interim billed rates. Of the 267 municipal electrical utilities included in this statement, 220 had revenue from consumers sufficient to meet all operating expenses and fixed charges and to yield an aggregate operating surplus of 81,935,147.68 for the year; 30 were able to defray all operating and fixed charges except depreciation, but failed to set aside the full theoretical amounts for that reserve by $17,598.61 ; only 17 had gross deficits in respect of operating expenses and fixed charges other than depreciation, aggregating $9,375.56. The net surplus for all 'Hydro" utilities was 81,900,694.51 for the year. Statement "C" shows the installation of street lights in each municipality together with the rates set by this Commission, the revenue for 1930, and the cost per capita in each municipality. Statement "D" presents statistics relating to the supply of electrical energy to consumers in Ontario municipalities served by the Commission. It shows the revenue, kilowatt-hour consumption, number of consumers, average monthly consumption, average monthly bill and the net average cost per kilowatt- hour both for domestic and for commercial light service in each municipality. For power service this statement shows the revenue, the number of consumers and the average horsepower supplied by the municipal utility.* For further reference to this informative statement, consult the special introduction to it on page 366. Statement "E" presents the cost per horsepower of the power provided for and delivered to the municipalities by the Commission, and the local rates to consumers in force in the respective municipalities, during the year 1930, for domestic service, for commercial light service and for power service. *The statistics include retail power only. Wholesale industrial power as supplied by the Commission direct, is reported in Section IX. 258 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 CONSOLIDATED Year. 1913 1914 1915 Number of municipalities included. 45 69 99 Assets Lands and buildings Substation equipment Distribution system — overhead Distribution system — underground. ...

The policy and practice of the Commission has been, and is, to make as widespread and beneficial a distribution of electrical energy as possible, and to extend to every community that can economically be reached by transmission lines, the benefit of electrical service. Even where, in certain localities, by reason of the distance from a source of supply or of the smallness of the quantity of power required by the municipality, the cost per horsepower to the municipality — and, consequently, the cost of service to the consumer — must unavoidably be higher than in more favourably situated communities, service has not been withheld when the consumers were able and willing to pay the cost. The accompanying diagram summarizes graphically certain data of State- ment "D," respecting the average cost to the consumer. It will be observed that the total amount of the energy sold in municipalities where circumstances necessitate rates which result in the higher average costs to the consumer is relatively insignificant. With respect to power ser^'ice, it should be noted that the statistics of Statement "D," and of the diagram, cover mainly retail power service supplied to the smaller industrial consumers. The average amount of power taken by the industrial consumers served by the municipalities is about 40 horsepower. The Commission serves certain large power consumers direct on behalf of the various systems of municipalities. It should be kept in mind that the revenues reported in Statement "D," and used for purposes of calculating the net unit costs to the consumer, are the total revenues contributed by the consumers, and include, in addition to the cost of power, sums specifically applicable to the retirement of capital, and also operating surplus which is in part applied to retirement of capital or ex- tension of plant and is in part returned in cash to the consumers. It should specially be noted that average costs per kilowatt-hour or per horsepower if employed indiscriminately as a criterion by means of which to compare the rates or prices for electrical service in various municipalities, will give very misleading results. The average costs per kilowatt-hour, as given in Statement "D" for respective classes of service in each municipality, are simply statistical results obtained by dividing the respective revenues by the aggregate kilowatt-hours sold. As such, the data reflect the combined influence of a number of factors, of which the rates or prices to consumers are but one factor. Owing to the varying influence of factors other than the rates, it is seldom found that in any two municipalities the average cost per kilowatt-hour to the consumers, even of the same classification, is in proportion to the respective rates for service. Instances even occur where for a class of consumers in one municipality, the average costs per kilowatt-hour are substantially lower than for the same class in another municipality, even though the rates are higher. 1931 HYDRO-FLECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 367 COST OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN MUNICIPALITIES SERVED BY THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO DOMESTIC SERVICE THE AREAS OF THE CIRCLES REPRESENT PROPORTIONATELY THE TOTAL KILOWATT- HOURS SOLO FOR DOMESTIC SERVICE IN MUNICIPALITIES WHERE THE AVERAGE CHARGE TO CONSUMERS INCLUSIVE OF ALL CHARGES IS, PER KILOWATT- HOUR : 2.0 TO 3 CENTS 9 4.0 TO 5.9 CENTS 6 CENTS OR MORE ( 11.8 I PER CENT ^ 0.4 PER CENT 0.1 PER CENT COMMERCIAL LIGHT SERVICE THE AREAS OF THE CIRCLES REPRESENT PROPORTIONATELY THE TOTAL KILOWATT-HOURS SOLD FOR COMMERCIAL LIGHT SERVICE IN MUNICIPALITIES WHERE THE AVERAGE CHARGE TO CONSUMERS INCLUSIVE OF ALL CHARGES IS, PER KILOWATTHOUR : 2.5 TO 3.9 CENTS 4.0 TO 5.9 CENTS 0.7 PER CENT 6 CENTS OR MORE 0.2 PER CENT o POWER SERVICE SUPPLIED BY MUNICIPALITIES THE AREAS OF THE CIRCLES REPRESENT PROPORTIONATELY THE AGGREGATE HORSEPOWER SOLD FOR POWER SERVICE IN MUNICIPALITIES WHERE THE AVERAGE CHARGE TO CONSUMERS INCLUSIVE OF ALL CHARGES IS, PER HORSEPOWER PER YEAR: S30 TO S40 $40 OR MORE 1.0 PER CENT 0.1 PER CENT o 368 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 With respect to domestic service, for example, instances will be observed where two municipalities have identical prices or rates for domestic service, but the average cost per kilowatt-hour to the consumer varies by as much as 100 per cent. Such variations are principally due to differences in the extent of utilization of the service for the operation of electric ranges, water heaters and other appliances, an indication of which is afforded by the statistics of average monthly consumption. In the case of power service, average unit costs are still less reliable as an indication of the relative rates for service in different municipalities. In the case of hydro-electric power supplied to industries at cost, the rate schedules incorporate charges both for demand and for energy consumption, and thus, although the quantity of power taken by a consumer — that is, the demand as measured in horsepower — is the most important factor affecting costs and revenues, it is not the only one. The number of hours the power is used in the month or year — which, in conjunction with the power, determines the energy consumption, as measured in kilowatt-hours — also affects the costs and revenues. Consequently, in two municipalities charging the same rates for power service, the average cost per horsepower to the consumer will vary in accordance with the consumers' average number of hours' use of the power per month. A greater average energy consumption per horsepower increases the average cost per horsepower and decreases the average cost per kilowatt-hour, to the consumer, and vice versa.* *In view of the fact that the data of Statement "D" have been misinterpreted in the making of certain comparisons as to the cost of electricity in various territories, it is desirable to add a word of caution respecting their significance. Essentialh', the average cost or revenue per kilo- watt-hour is not a criterion of rates even with similar forms of rate schedules and for the same class of service. Particularly is this true when revenues and consumptions of all classes of serv-ice, and of all kinds of rate schedules, are indiscriminately lumped together in order to deduce a so-called "average cost or rate per kilowatt-hour" for all services. In one community rates for each class of service, and the cost to every consumer in each class for any given service and consumption, may be substantially higher than in another community, and yet there may be in the former community, a lower "average revenue per kilowatt-hour." This will readily be perceived from a simple arithmetical example. Example. — Assume sales of electrical energy bv two electric utilities, A and B, in each case 10,000,000 kilowatt-hours. Class of Case A Higher rates and lower revenues per kilowatt-hour Case B Lower rates and higher revenues per kilowatt-hour service Energy sales Rate per kw-hr. Revenue Energy- Rate per sales kw-hr. Revenue Residence kw-hr. 1,000,000 9,000,000 cents 4 1 S 40 000 kw-hr. cents 3 nnn nnn 3 $ 90,000 52,500 Power 90 000 7 000 000 0 7=; Total 10,000,000 130,000 10,000,000 142.500 Average revenue.. 1.3 cents per kw-hr. 1.425 cents per kw-hr. It will be observed that in Case A the rates both for residence and for power service are ii per cent higher than in Case B, but the average revenue per kilowatt-hour is nearly 9 per cent less. In this instance, the key to the situation lies in the relative quantities of energy sold to each class. Service to large power consumers entails a smaller capital investment in distribution lines and equipment and lower operating costs per kilowatt-hour delivered, than does service to domestic and to commercial light consumers, and even where the rates for all classes of service are low, produces a smaller average revenue per kilowatt-hour. Consequently, if one electrical utility as compared with another sells a larger proportion of its energy for power purposes, its "average revenue per kilowatt-hour" may easily be lower than that of the other utility even though its rates for every class of service are substantially higher. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 369 Although the derived statistics of Statement "D" are valueless as a means of comparing the rates in one municipality with those in another, they ne\ertheless fultil an important function in affording a general measure of the economy of service to consumers in the co-operating Ontaricj municipalities— an economy that has resulted primarily from the low rates themselves, and secondarily from the extensive use of the service that has been made economically possible by the low rates. Actual bills rendered to typical consumers for similar service under closely comparable circumstances constitute the best basis for effecting comparisons. In researches respecting rates to consumers therefore the actual rate schedules of Statement "E" should be employed, and not statistics of average revenues per kiK)watt-hour, as these are valueless for rate comparisons — and particularly so when all classifications of service are combined. In any consideration of the relative economies of electrical service in the various municipalities — whether based on the actual rates for service as set forth in Statement "E," or on the derived statistics resulting from the rates and other factors as presented in Statement "D" — full account should be taken respectively, of the intiuence upon costs of such factors as the size of the municipality, the distance from the source of power, the features of the power developments from which service is received, the sizes and concentrations of adjacent markets for electricity, and the sizes and characters of the loads supplied under the various classifications by the local electrical utility to the ultimate consumers. In Statement "D" account has been taken of the sizes of municipalities by grouping them according to whether they are (i) cities — over 10,000 population; (ii) tow^ns of 2,000 to 10,000 population; or (iii) small towns (under 2,000 popu- lation), villages, and suburban areas in townships (which are comparable in respect of conditions of supply to the smaller towns and villages). The popu- lations and the approximate transmission distances are also given. A feature of the electrical service in Ontario municipalities is the strikingly large average annual consumption per domestic consumer. There are in all about 182 Ontario municipalities where the average annual consumption per domestic consumer is in excess of 600 kilowatt-hours. Of the 76 cities and towns with populations of 2,000 or more — in which over 85 per cent of the domestic consumers of the undertaking are served — no less than 49 have an average annual consumption per domestic consumer in excess of 1,000 kilowatt-hours; of these, 27 have an average annual consumption per domestic consumer in excess of 1,500 kilowatt-hours, and 11 have an average annual consumption per domestic consumer in excess of 2,000 kilowatt-hours. The high average consumption for domestic service results essentially from the policy of the undertaking in providing electrical service "at cost"; the rate schedules scientifically designed according to this principle automatically encour- age liberal use of the service. Under the standard rate schedules employed by Ontario municipalities, follow-up rates of 1 cent and 1.25 cents (less 10 per cent) are in common use, and as a rule even where the higher initial rates per kilo- watt-hour obtain, it is only necessary for the domestic consumer to reach a monthly charge of from S2.00 to S3. 00 when he obtains the benefit of a follow-up rate of 1.8 cents net. The cost of electric cooking is thus within reach of most of the domestic consumers in Ontario. 370 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 STATEMENT Statistics Relating to the Supply of Electric Energy to Consumers For Domestic Service, for Commercial Light Service Group I— CITIES Municipality System Popula- tion Distance from generating station Domestic service Revenue Consumption Number of con- sumers S OS kw-hr $ c. 131 2.25 138 2.14 100 1.71 142 2.46 391 3.01 136 2.57 96 1.69 142 2.10 68 1.55 139 2.30 160 2.24 249 2.81 93 2.45 284 2.30 86 1.51 96 1.76 172 2.28 158 2.19 133 2.07 97 1.89 175 2.77 128 1.92 127 3.96 112 1.97 188 2.96 145 2.37 Belleville Brantford . . . .

Cost of Power to Municipalities The figures of the first column in the table represented the total cost for the year of the power supplied by the Commission to the municipality, divided by the number of horsepower supplied. Details respecting these costs are given in the "Cost of Power" tables relating to the several systems, as presented in Section IX, and an explanation of the items making up the cost of power is given in the introduction to that Section. Rates to Consumers The Power Commission Act stipulates that "The rates chargeable by any municipal corporation generating or receiving and distributing electrical power or energy shall at all times be subject to the approval and control of the Com- mission." In accordance with the Act and in pursuance of its fundamental principle of providing service at cost, the Commission requires that accurate cost records be kept in each municipality, and exercises a continuous supervision over the rates charged to consumers. From the commencement of its operations, the Commission introduced in the municipalities which it serves, scientifically-designed rate schedules for each of the three main classes into which the electrical service is usually divided, namely: residential or domestic service, commercial light service, and power service, and the schedules in use during the past year are presented in the tables of this statement. *Except townships served as parts of rural power districts, for which consult latter part of Section III. 1931 HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 385 Domestic Service: Domestic rates apply to electrical service in residences, for all household purposes, including lighting, cooking and the operation of all domestic appliances. Commercial Light Service: I-'Jectrical energy used in stores, offices, churches, schools, i)ul)lic halls and institutions, hotels, public l)oarding-houses, and in all other premises for commercial purposes, including sign and display lighting, is billed at commercial lighting rates. Power Service: The rate schedules given for power service in Statement "E" are those governing the supply of power at retail by each of the local municipal utilities. The average amount of power sold, per consumer, under these rates is approximately 40 horsepower — consult Statement "D." The Commission serves certain large power consumers direct on behalf of the various systems of municipalities. The rates for power service, as given in the tables, are the rates for 24-hour unrestricted power at secondary distribution voltage. For service at primary distribution voltage the rates are usualK' five per cent lower than those stated. In municipalities where the load conditions and other circumstances permit, lower rates are available for 10-hour power, and for other forms of restricted service. For these classifications, discounts additional to those listed in the table are applicable. The service charge relates to the connected load or to the maximum demand, as measured by a 10-minute average peak, where a demand meter is installed. The prompt payment discount of 10 per cent on the total monthly bill is given for settlement within 10 days. Under the tabulation of rates for power service there is a column headed "Basis of rate 130 hours monthly use of demand." This column shows approxi- mately the net annual amount payable for a demand of one horsepower, assuming a monthly use of 130 hours, which includes 30 hours' use each month at the third energy rate. Broadly, the figures in this column serve to indicate approximately the relative cost of power service in the different municipalities listed. 386 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 26 STATEMENT Cost of Power to Municipalities and Rates to Consumers for for the Year 1930, in Urban Municipalities Annual cost to the Commission on the works to serve electrical energy to munici- pality on a horse power basis Domestic service Municipality Service charge per month First rate All additional per kw-hr.

G. A. Brown, Provincial Auditor. Department of Attorney-General, Toronto 5, October 10th, 1930. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your memorandum of October 9th asking for my opinion as to powers of the Minister of Mines under section 65 (3) of The Game and Fisheries Act to order the return of an amount of money realized from the sale of a confiscated article. In my opinion the Minister would have no authority to make such an order. Under the provisions of The Fines and Forfeitures Act, R.S.O. 1927, Cap. 129, sec. 6, it is provided, in effect, that the Lieutenant-Governor in Council may at any time remit any fine imposed by order under the authority of any [23] 24 AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR 1929-30 No. 27 Act of the Legislature, with the exception of fines imposed under The Legislative Assembly Act, etc. By the definition clause "fine" includes forfeiture. I am of opinion, therefore, that the Lieutenant-Governor in Council has power to remit- the proceeds of a forfeiture under section 65 of The Game and Fisheries Act. Yours faithfully, E. Bayly, Deputy Attorney-General. Gordon A. Broavx, Esq. Provincial Auditor, Buildings. Re Agricultural Development Board Provincial Auditor's Office, Toronto, November 4th, 1930. Dear AIr. Ba^xy: The Agricultural Development Board had a certain farm come back on their hands and in order to protect themselves against loss on a resale a contract was gi\en to \\'. J. Humphrey for repairs to barn amounting to S600.00. The account has been presented for payment and I returned it for further information asking the Board under what authority could expenditures of this nature be made. In reply to my query the Chairman says, "Authority is general authority of the Board, as expenditures of this nature are essential to protect the equity of the Board in such properties, signed W'.B.R." IViay I ask, if, in your opinion, the Agricultural Development Board is legally authorized under the provisions of the Act R.S.O. 1927, chap. 68, to make expenditures, such as I have referred to. In view of this being near the close of the fiscal year I would very much appreciate your ruling at your earliest opportunity. Yours very truly, G. a. Brown, Provincial Auditor. Mr. Edward Bayly, K.C, Deputy Attorney-General, Buildings. AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR 1929-30 25 1)i:i'aktmi:nt of Attorney-General, Toronto 5, November 6th, 1930. Dear Mk. Brown I am in receipt of sour letter of November 4th asking for my opinion as to whether the Agricultural Development Board has power to expend money on the repair of buildings coming into their hands. I'nder the provisions of the Agricultural Development Act, the Agricul- tural Dexelopment Board is created a body corporate. I am informed by the solicitor Mr. Page that the Board are the mortgagees in possession of the property upon which the money was expended and in my view the Board is merely carrying out one of the incidentals of a mortgagee in possession in repairing the buildings for the purpose of resale; in other words,, in ni\' opinion the expenditure is a proper one.

GENERAL REVIEW Premises The Board's offices remain on the 11th and 12th Floors of the Metropolitan Building, corner of Adelaide and Victoria Streets, Toronto. Accidents The year 1930 shows a large decrease in the number of accidents reported to the Board, which is fairly indicative of the decrease in employment in indus- tries in the Province. The accidents reported in 1929 numbered 87,103, whereas the accidents reported during 1930 totalled 69,267, a decrease of over 20 per cent, in number of accidents. The only month in which the number of accidents in 1930 exceeded those in 1929 was the month of January. The highest number of accidents reported in any month during the year was 6,307 accidents during the month of June. The provisional pay rolls reported to the Board also show^ed a substantial decrease, amounting as they did to $543,455,000 in 1929 and $485,262,000 in 1930, and the number of employers reporting also decreased from 24,078 in 1929 to 23,912 in 1930. Out of the 61,795 cases allowed during 1930, 56,715 were in Schedule 1 alone, and out of these 30,174 involved medical aid only, which shows a lessening of severity of accidents, as the percentage of cases involving medical aid only allowed during 1929 was nearly 50 per cent., and during 1930 a little over 53 per cent. There were 427 deaths, as compared with 452 in 1929. Benefits The total amount of benefits awarded under the Act during the year 1930 was $7,423,018.82, as compared with $8,012,157.78 in 1929, and $7,067,946.93 in 1928. Out of the benefits so awarded in 1930, $6,278,802.30 was in Schedule 1 industries, $609,555.40 in Schedule 2 industries, and 8534,661.12 in Crown cases. The benefits awarded in Schedule 1 included $1,336,046.05 for medical aid, as compared with medical aid amounting to $1,385,524.62 in 1929. The medical aid represented a little over 213^ per cent, of the total amount awarded for benefits in Schedule 1. The total benefits awarded from the commencement of the Act to the end of 1930 amounted to $85,903,225.75, and the total number of accidents reported during the same period were 875,677. 5 2 W.C. 6 Workmen's Compensation Board No. 28 Average Rates of Assessment Based on the estimated wage expenditure, the average rate of assessment in all classes in Schedule 1 would amount to SI. 40, as compared with SI. 35 in 1929, and an average of $1.18 since the commencement of the Act, the increase being accounted for to a great extent by the fact that the benefits have been increased from time to time by amendments to the Act. Administration Expenses While the number of accidents showed a considerable decrease during the year, the Board has had a greatly increased number of appeals to deal with, due in a large extent to people being out of employment and coming back to the Board for reconsideration of their cases, either by way of appeals against rejections or for increased awards; also a great many extra demands have been made by infants and pensioners having moneys coming to them, either in deferred awards or by way of pensions, for temporary advances or for com- mutations of pensions to enable them to tide over the periods of unemployment, and the Board has been very lenient in consideration of such claims in view of the peculiar necessities of the case during the past year. The Board has also taken on special work in aid of the accident prevention associations, to give them the accurate information as to the experience of the individual employers, so that where individual accident experience is bad the cause of it may be inquired into and remedied. This has involved the taking on of several employees capable of making such statistical investigations, but the cost of this special work has been charged against the particular accident prevention association requesting the information and authorizing the employ- ment of such special investigator, the work being done by the Board but at the expense of such association. The Board has also extended during the year the practice of local investi- gations by its Chief Medical Ofificer, and has had him make special trips to Port Arthur for the western district, and Sudbury, as well as continuing the special examinations at Windsor, London, and Ottawa, as carried on in 1929. The results have been good in arriving at a fair understanding of permanent disabil- ities and in reviews of long-standing or disputed cases, and have fully justified the extra expense involved. The Board also is carrying on special examinations under the Mining Act, and special work in connection with the establishment of mine rescue stations, as required by the Mining Act, and it was thought that a special charge should be made for special services rendered to the mining class in connection with the silicosis work, and accordingly they have been charged with a fair share of the administration expense in view of the special work done for the class. With the increased work, there has been a slight increase in administration costs. The total administration expenses during the year amounted to $354,629.73, from which should be deducted the amount charged the accident prevention associations for special statistical services rendered to them, amount- ing to $7,630, leaving the administration expenses at $346,999.73. Against this during the year was charged the special charge to the mining class in connection with the silicosis work, amounting to $33,992.13, this being for the whole period since the commencement of the special examinations and services in connection with the silicosis provisions of the Act. The total administration expenses for 1929 were $341,083.58, which compares with the $346,999.73 above. 1931 General Review All the aclniinistralion expenses are now paid by the employers under the Act, without any jjovernmental assistance, and the amount is distributed among Schedule 1, Schedule 2, and Dominion and Provincial Oown cases, in accordance with the work done in each of these classes. The amount charged to the Silicosis l'\ind was as above. $33.<)92.13; to Schedule 1 employers, $264,882.02; to Sched- ule 2, $25,315.57; to Dominion Crown, $17,719.46; and to Provincial Crown, $5,090.55. The total administration expenses for 1930 were 4.67 per cent. Of the benefits awarded; 4.76 per cent, was the percentage of benefits awarded in connection with Schedule 1. and 4.21 per cent, in connecticm with the benefits awarded in Schedule 2 and CVown cases. Amendments There were no legislative amendments passed during the session of 1930. Safety Associations and Mine Rescue Stations Further increase has been made by the Board in connection with grants to safety associations, the total during the year being $146,929.22, as compared with $127,638.98 in 1929, divided as follows: Lumbermen's Safety Association, $25,200; Ontario Pulp and Paper Makers' Safety Association, $12,130; Industrial Accident Prexention Associations, $100,999.22; and Electrical Employers' Association of Ontario, $8,600. The membership of the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations has been added to by the inclusion of an accident prevention association in connection with Class 23, and the employers in the general construction group of Class 24 having pay rolls of $30,000 and over. This would be part of the cause for increased expenditures in connection with the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations. Continued interest has been shown by the employers in the different classes in accident prevention and safety work, which has been manifested in the very large attendance at the meetings of the different associations during the year. More effective work and better results it is hoped will follow the change in policy of bringing home to individual employers with a bad accident experience the necessity for increased accident prevention work in their particular industry and thus localizing still more the responsibility for bad accident experience. The increased interest is also shown by the fact that there have been three new .safety associations formed, representing the steel erection group in Class 23, the larger employers in the general construction class, and finally the group of Class 5 comprising the mining employers in the Province. The Board has also established in connection with the first aid provisions of the Act, as endorsed by the Mining Act, a further mine rescue station at Sud- bury. This station was erected at a cost of over $10,000, and has been fully equipped for mine rescue work for that district. There has been spent for the erection of this station, the salary of operators in connection with this station and that at Timmins, and for supplies in connection with these stations, during the year $24,973.15. It is intended during the year 1931 to establish a further rescue station in the Kirkland Lake mining field. First Aid The necessity of employers providing adequate first aid treatment in all plants is again specially drawn to their attention, as experience has shown that the benefit of prompt and efficient first aid largely decreases accident severity 8 Workmen's Compensation Board No. 28 and accident cost. The provisions of the Act require every employer to have a suitable first aid kit provided, adequate for the particular industry carried on b}' him. Rehabilitation The Board has spent about the same amount in rehabilitation work as in previous years, but owing to the decrease in industrial operations it has been more difficult to rehabilitate injured workmen in connection with actual employ- ment in industry, which is the best form of rehabilitation which can be under- taken. Naturally where there are a good many able-bodied workmen applying for positions, the employer feels that in times when it is necessary to decrease production costs as much as possible he should only employ those who can give the best return for the wages paid. Hence, the greater difficulty in getting employment for maimed workmen. The Board, however, urges all employers to consider the responsibility which is placed upon industry for the care of workmen during disability and their rehabilitation after they have been cured to the extent to which medical attention can go, and the Board desires to thank those of the employers who have been specially active in endeavoring to rehabil- itate injured workmen by taking them back into their employ or taking men injured in other industry into their employ for the purpose of giving them another chance. The Board requests not only a continuance of this co-operation, but also increased co-operation in the re-employment of injured workmen so that they may be the more rapidly rehabilitated into some form of work. Merit Rating The same principles have been applied in connection with merit rating, and refunds to the extent of $123,661.83 have been made in merit rating refunds during the year, as compared with vS107, 860.67 in 1929, and 885,597.27 in 1928, showing increasingly good accident experience by employers, justifying increased encouragement by means of greater refunds for such better experience. Funds No levy has been made this year for the Disaster Reserve Fund, which is created b}^ assessment on all the classes to cover unforeseen disaster or to meet payments which would unduly burden any class of industry. The Disaster Reserve Fund at the end of the year stands at 8269,498.16, as compared with $280,284.14 at the end of 1929. There has been no charging by reason of any large disaster, but charges have been made under the practice of the Board to charge part of the cost of accidents to maimed workmen who have been injured a second time to the Disaster Fund and part to the employer and class in whose employ the injured workman was at the time of the accident. This method is one of the means used by the Board to encourage the re-employment of maimed workmen by employers, the employer's account being charged only with the cost which would have been charged had the workman been injured for the first time, and the balance of the cost of an accident to a maimed workman being paid out of the Disaster Reserve Fund. The amount so charged during the year in relief of pensions charged to various classes was $23,857.63. Each year the Board transfers to the Pension Fund the capitalized value of all pensions awarded during the year, computed on an earning of five per cent., half yearly, during the life expectancy of the injured workman, and this Pension Reserve represents the actuarial liability outstanding in connection 1931 General Review with the pensions actually granted by the Board. The amount now standing to the credit of the Pension Reserve Funds is as follows: Schedule 1, $18,463,332.33, Schedule 2, $3,554,166.98, as compared with amounts standing at the credit of said funds at the end of 1929 as follows: Schedule 1 , $17,352,229.71, Schedule 2, $3,537,455.90. The Board each year has to invest in permanent investments the funds set aside for such pension reserves and such amounts as may have matured in the preceding year, and owing to the yield on bonds having materially decreased during the year 1930 the Board was fortunate to have made its purchase of bonds very early, before the yield had materially lessened, and even before the funds were in hand to purchase, and by so doing it was able to raise the average rate of interest earned on Schedule 1 investments from 5.04 per cent, in 1929 to 5.10 per cent, in 1930, while the average rate of earnings on Schedule 2 funds amounted to 5.60 per cent. The 'Accident Fund,' the fund out of which accident costs are paid, is intended to meet as nearly as possible the accident costs in the year in which it is levied. Of necessity, in addition to actual payments made and awards of pensions, further payment of temporary disability and permanent disability awards may be still outstanding at the end of the year, as the case may be still continuing or may not have progressed sufficiently to make a definite award, and the Board has to have on hand sufficient to meet not only payments which have been actually made but outstanding claims in connection with accidents which have occurred. The Board shows on hand as a provisional balance at the end of 1930, $1,516,298.61 in connection with the accident fund from the commencement of the Act, which is somewhat larger than the balance at the end of 1929. The Board does not desire to have any great surplus in the accident fund beyond actual current needs. Audit A continuous audit of all the accounts of the Board has been carried on by Messrs. Fred Page Higgins & Company, the auditors appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council under the provisions of Section 74 of the Act, and their certificate is appended at the end of this report. Contents of Report In the difl^erent chapters and tables, as indicated in their headings, will be found information and particulars regarding compensation and assessments in the various industries, and explanations and particulars of the different funds of the Board; also an analysis and tabluation of the causes of accidents, the nature of injuries, and other information concerning accidents and work- men. The appendix contains a short summary of the operations from the commencement of the Act to the end of 1930. CHAPTER 1 SCHEDULE 1 INDUSTRIES FOR 1930 As some of the industries covered by the Act are under the collective liability system (the employer not being individually liable for accidents to his workmen but being assessed to provide a general fund out of which accidents occurring in his class of industry throughout the Province are taken care of) and others are under the individual liability system (the employer being liable to pay for accidents happening to his own workmen), separate financial state- ments have to be made for each. The industries under the collective liability system are included in Schedule 1, and those under indi\idual liability in Sched- ule 2, the former comprising much the greater number. This chapter deals with Schedule 1 industries for 1930. Schedule 2 industries are dealt with in Chapter II, while Chapter III deals with the work handled in both schedules and the administration of the Act generally during the year. Chapter I\' with the different funds in both schedules and their standing at the end of 1930, and Chapter Y gives financial and statistical information for 1929, which was not available when the report for that year w^as made. Provisional Financial Statement The provisional financial statement for the industries in Schedule 1 for 1930 is contained in Table I. To show the standing for the year, estimates have to be made of adjustments of assessments according to actual pay rolls and on the retroactive rates (the assessments for the year being first levied on an estimate of pay roll and at a provisional rate), and estimates also have to be made of compensation and medical aid still to be awarded for accidents happening during the year which have not yet been finally disposed of by reason of the injured workman being still under medical treatment or reports not being received. These estimates contain also all liabilities for claims of previous years 3'et outstanding and provision for claims of prior years which may subsequently be adjusted. Final figures for the year 1930 will be shown in the next subsequent report in the same manner as the final figures for 1929 are shown in Table 15 of this report. The difl^erence is to be noted between the amount of compensation and medical aid awarded for the year's accidents and the amount awarded during the year. The latter is partly for the prior year's accidents, while upon the other hand it does not cover all the liability for the current year's accidents. The more correct system of charging each year as far as possible with its own acci- dents, and for that purpose keeping the year's accounts open till the end of the subsequent year, has been adopted, rather than the looser method of taking the amount awarded during the year as the cost of the year's accidents and leaving always an outstanding liability unprovided for. For the purpose of information and comparison, however, the amounts awarded during the year are shown in Chapter III. Accounts for Each Class The industries in Schedule 1 are divided into classes, and as each class (subject to any transfer that may be made to it from the Disaster Reserve in any case of undue burden) bears its own accident cost — the employers in the 10 19^1 Schedule 1 Industries for 1930 U class being in effect a mutual insurance association — separate accounts have to be kept for the different classes. Each class is credited with its own assess- ments, its share of interest and other income, and with any transfer made to it from Disaster Reserve, or credit irom any other source, and is charged with the cost of its own accidents, its share of administration expenses, the cost of its safety association if it has one, and with its share of any amount set aside for Disaster Reserve. The figures for each class, and the provisional surplus or deficit for the year, and the balance forward from prior years, and the provisional surplus or deficit for all years, are shown in Table 1. The final figures for each class and also the figures for the different groups within the classes (as in Table 15) will be shown in the next report. The assessments are fixed according to the accident cost and other expenses and charges in each class and group and having regard to the other income and credits. The classes are numbered and the nature of the industries in each is shown at the bottom of Table 1 and full enumeration of the industries will be found in Schedule 1 of the Act and in the Board's rate book the latter also showing the grouping within the class. Assessments and Other Credits The total assessments in all the classes of Schedule I for the year 1930, including estimated adjustments, amounted to $6,796,223.53. In assessments are included collections for default in making returns or payments and interest for under and over estimate of pay roll. The other income and credits for the year consisted of interest received other than credited to the Pension Fund, Silicosis Fund, and Compensation Deferred, as shown in Chapter IV; reim- bursement for veteran cases, received from the Department of Pensions and National Health; cost of accidents collected under Section 105 for failure to furnish pay roll prior to accident; recovery from third parties under Section 8; collections under Section 112 (3) from employers for failure to furnish particulars of accidents; and assessments under Section 83(4) for extraordinary accident experience. Other income and credits amounted to 8260,482.99, making a total of 87,056,706.52, of which 8123,661.83 is to be refunded for merit rating. The net income and credits for the year are, therefore, $6,933,044.69. Compensation and Other Charges The compensation for Schedule 1 industries for the year, including estimate for what is still to be awarded for accidents happening during the year and for adjustment of prior years' accidents, amounted to 85,164,301.35; the medical aid, including estimate for what is outstanding, amounted to $1,366,321.69; the administration expenses for Schedule 1, including $24,973.15 for mine rescue work, amounted to $289,855.17; and $146,929.22 was paid to employers' safety associations. The total expenditures and charges for the year were $6,967,407.43. The provisional deficit for the year was $34,362.74. The balance forward from prior years was a surplus of 81,550,661.35, which, added to the deficit for the year, makes a net provisional surplus of $1,516,298.61 at December 31, 1930. Number of Employers The total number of employers listed in Schedule 1 at the end of 1930 was 23,912, as compared with 24,078 at the end of 1929. The number in each class and group of industry is shown in Table 2. 12 Workmen's Compensation Board No. 28 Wage Expenditure The estimated total wage expenditure in Schedule 1 industries for the year 1930, calculated on provisional figures, is 8485,262,000, as compared with $543,455,000 in 1929. The amounts for the different classes of industry are shown in Table 3. The Board has no similar data for Schedule 2 and Crown industries as in these the employers pay for the accidents to their own workmen and are not required to make pay roll returns or pay assessments upon them as in Schedule 1. The pay roll would probably be about one-third that of Schedule 1. Average Rates of Assessment Assessments in Schedule 1 are in the form of a percentage of pay roll and the average rate or percentage over all the classes actually paid by the employers can be ascertained by relating the total assessments to the total wage expendi- ture.

Dominion Crown Cases under the Act by Dominion legislation, and Provincial Crown Cases referred to the Board for adjustment, are included. The total amount of compensation awarded in Schedule 2 industries and Crown cases during 1030 was 81,144.216.52. Of this amount, 8217,094.67 was for workmen of municipal corporations, 8268,421.76 for steam railroads, 810,705.53 for electric railways, $61,717.62 for navigation companies, 813,274.47 for express and sleeping car companies, $29,341.35 for telephone and telegraph companies, $477,700.84 for Dominion Crown cases, and 856,060.28 for Provincial Crown cases. Of the total amount awarded, 8594,430.45 was for pensions in pension cases, and 8540,777.07 for cases not pension cases and for compensation not pensions in pension cases. In pension cases, except in the case of municipal or government bodies or departments thereof, not so desiring, deposits must be made by employers in Schedule 2 industries. Particulars of these are given under "Deposits under Section 28." Under "Claimants' Moneys" are included moneys held by the Board under awards in which in the interest of the claimant, or for some other reason, payment of the amounts held is deferred to a later date, as in the case of minors. "Deposits under Section 32" are amounts deposited w^th the Board to enable the Board to make prompt payments without waiting for receipt of cheque from employer. Employers in Schedule 2 are assessed their share of the expense of adminis- tration as set out in Table 8. For 1030 that share amounted to 825,315.57, as compared with 824,142.43 in 1929, and 823,816.76 in 1928.

The benefits awarded during each year and the total since the commence- ment of the Act are as follows: Schedule 1 Year Compensation Medical Aid 1930 $4,942,756 25 $1,336,046 05 1929 5,346,621 19 1,385,524 62 1928 4,565,688 56 1,166,507 54 1927 3,930,417 59 1,062,859 64 1926 3,664,039 94 988,486 70 1925 3,635,530 27 875,836 01 1924 4,052,287 77 835,956 60 1923 4,036,170 26 788,905 90 1922 3,417,10161 692,819 94 1921 3,858,017 50 662,793 89 1920 5,113,149 77 703,705 66 1919 2.808,638 65 386,298 51 1918 2,751,137 45 369,346 37 1917 2,286,954 99 *83,514 07 1916 1,553,653 38 t •••• 1915 692,389 09 t Totals $56,654,554 27 $11,338,601 50 *Half year only. fNo provision for medical aid. The increase in benefits from the early years is largely by reason of increase in wages, compensation being for the most part a percentage of wages, and additional industries have been covered, and some material changes were made in compensation. The large total for 1920 is by reason of the retroactive increase in widows' and children's pensions, and the small amount awarded during 1915 is by reason of many 1915 accidents not being, nor capable of being, finally disposed of till the following year. The amount of benefits awarded for each year's accidents as distinguished from the amount awarded during the year is shown in Chapter V. 17 Schedule 2 and Total Crown Benefits Compensat; ion $1,144,216 52 $7,423,018 82 1,280,011 97 8,012,157 78 1,335,750 83 7,067,946 93 1,091,377 64 6,084,654 87 1.168,825 26 5,821,351 90 1,054,077 11 5,565,443 39 1,234,575 97 6,122,820 34 1,348,785 58 6,173,861 74 1,582,975 06 5,692,896 61 1,668,452 10 6,189,263 49 1,963,389 82 7,780,245 25 997,922 77 4,192,859 93 763,511 02 3,883,994 84 623,556 37 2,994,025 43 451,709 93 2,005,363 31 200,932 03 893,321 12 $17,910,069 98 $85,903,225 75 18 Workmen's Compensation Board Xo. 28 Accidents Reported during the Year During 1930, (i9,l(il accidents were reported. These included some not serious enough to involve payment of either compensation or medical aid and for which no claim was made and others for which claims were made but which were not allowed by the Board. At the close of the year there were 1,185 claims in assembly, as compared with 1,988 at the end of 1929, notice of the accident having been given but reports necessary to deal with the case not yet having been received. The number of accidents reported each year and the total number since the commencement of the Act are as follows: Year Schedule 1 1930 61,490 1929 76,029 1928 69,011 1927 62,063 1926 57,032 1925 50,883 1924 49,558 1923 51,655 1922 42,139 1921 36,272 1920 46,177 1919 36,236 1918 40,662 1917 30,701 1916 21,269 1915 13,878 Schedule 2 Crown Totals 4,486 3,291 69.267 6,008 5,066 87,103 5,815 4,572 79,398 5,412 4,504 71,979 4,942 3,942 65,916 5,079 4,050 60.012 4,916 4.201 58,675 6.080 3,374 61,109 7,124 1,148 50,411 7,666 1.253 45,191 7,222 1,452 54,851 7,918 106 44.260 7,113 73 47,848 5,813 18 36,532 4,806 17 26,092 3,144 11 17,033 All Years 745,055 93,544 37,078 875,677 Accidents Paid For during the Year Table 5 shows the number of accidents in which compensation or medical aid was paid during the year. The total number was 61,795, as compared with 73,815 during 1929. The 61,795 comprised 427 deaths, 15 permanent total disa- bility cases, 2,959 permanent partial disability cases, 28,220 temporary disability cases, and 30,174 cases in which medical aid only was paid. Schedule 2 and Crown cases involving medical aid only, which are a large proportion of the accidents reported, are not included as accidents paid for as the medical aid is furnished directly by the employer. The number of accidents in which compensation or medical aid was awarded each year since the commencement of the Act is as follows: Year Schedule 1 Schedule 2 Crown Totals 1930 56,715 2,723 2,357 61,795 1929 68,195 2,883 2,737 73,815 1928 61,384 2,723 2.425 66.532 1927 55,894 2,741 2,443 61,078 1926 52,199 2.489 2,182 56.870 1925 47,782 2,734 2,217 52,733 1924 46,616 2,820 2,475 51.911 1923 47,873 3,849 1,916 53,638 1922 37,172 4.572 765 42,509 1921 34,271 5,161 834 40,266 1920 42,693 4,444 714 47.851 1919 34,400 4,517 153 39.070 1918 36,565 4,335 30 40.930 *1917 25,277 3.406 19 28.702 ♦1916 15.370 2,825 3 18,208 *1915 8,328 1,494 7 9.829 *Cases involving medical aid only not covered till July 1. 1917. vm Work Handled During 1930 19 Awards Changed In addition to claims compensated, as show in Table 5, the Board in 1930 reopened for further award 523 claims which had been settled previously. Cheques, Assessments, Mail and Callers In all 258,222 cheques were issued during the year, an average of about 852 daily, and there were 31,344 assessments made, including refunds. About 4,800 pieces of mail were handled daily, and the average number of office callers was 79 a day. Receipts and Payments The receipts and payments during the year are shown in Table 6, the statement for Schedule 2 including Crown cases. Explanation of the items and the funds referred to will be found in other parts of the report. A summary of receipts and payments since the commencement of the Act is given in the Appendi.x. Payments to Safety Associations The safety or accident prevention associations are organizations of em- ployers established under the authority of the Act by the employers in twenty out of the twenty-four classes of industry. They are under the management of the employers, but the expenses are paid by the Board out of the accident fund. The total amounts so paid are set out in Table 7, which table also shows the amount paid out on account of mine rescue work in Class 5. Administration Expenses The administration expenses of the Board analyzed under the different headings, are shown in Table 8. The gross adminstration expenses during 1930 were $354,629.73, which included special statistical services for which refunds have been received of 87,630.00, making the total administration ex- penses 8346,999.73, as compared with 8341,083.58 during 1929. The employers pay the whole expense of the administration of the Act. The amount is divided, according to the accidents handled, among Schedule 1 (Accident and Silicosis Funds), Schedule 2, and Dominion and Provincial Crown. The amount charged to the Silicosis Fund was 833,992.13, and to Schedule 1 employers, 8264,882.02, to Schedule 2, 825,315.57, to Dominion Crown, 817,719.46 and to Provincial Crown, 85,090.55. The cost of office furniture, fixtures, and equipment, including permanent equipment, has alwa^'s been charged to administration expenses in the year in which payment therefor was made, and no entry for which has ever been made in the standing of the funds. The value of this furniture and equipment at the present time is estimated at about 825.000. The total administration expenses for 1930 were 4.67 per cent, of the benefits awarded. The administration expenses in Schedule 1 for 1930 were 4.76 per cent, of the benefits awarded, those in Schedule 2 and Crown being 4.21 per cent. 20 Workmen's Compensation Board No. 28 TABLE 5 COMPENSATION, MEDICAL AID, AND ACCIDENTS PAID FOR, DURING 1930 Compensation Awarded during 1930 Schedule 1 $4,942,756 25 Schedule 2 609,555 40 Crown Cases 534,661 12 Total $6,086,972 77 Medical Aid Paid For during 1930 Schedule 1 . . .$1,336,046 05 Schedule 2 furnished by employer Crown Cases furnished by employer Accidents Paid For during 1930 Medical Temp.

A summary since the commencement of the Act will be found in the Appendix. Schedule 1 Funds The Schedule 1 funds are known and referred to in the Act as the "Accident Fund." They comprise, in addition to current funds out of which temporary payments of compensation, medical aid, and administration expenses are paid, the Pension Fund, Disaster Reserve, and Compensation Deferred. The standing of the Accident Fund, showing assets and liabilities, at December 31, 1930, is shown in Table 9. The balance of assets in excess of liabilities at that date was 82,040,837.95, being 8269,498.16 Disaster Reserve, 8255,041.18 accrued interest on investments, and $1,516,298.61 standing at the credit of the classes December 31, 1930. This is exclusive of office furniture and equipment men- tioned in Chapter III. Pension Fund The Pension Fund, representing the outstanding pension liability, comprises the largest part of the funds standing to the credit of Schedule 1. The purpose of the Pension Fund is to take care of future payments of pensions which have already been awarded. Actuarial tables (published as an appendix to the report for 1922), embodying the contingencies of death and remarriage, have been compiled to show for each age and kind of pension the average amount (sometimes referred to as capitalized value) necessary to complete pension payments. When a pension is awarded this average amount is transferred from current funds to the Pension Fund. All payments of pensions are made from the Pension Fund. Since the amount transferred in any one instance is the average amount required, no retransfer is made should a residue be left at the expiry of the pension, nor is any additional transfer made should the amount be exhausted before expiry of the pension. Retransfer from Pension Fund During the years 1923 and 1924 an actuarial survey of the Board's pension experience and revaluation of the pension liability was made, all existing pensions being revalued. As a result the Pension Fund was found to be a little in excess of what the experience indicated to be necessary. As at date of January 1,1924, a retransfer of 8600,000 was accordingly made from the Pension Fund to current funds, being distributed among the different classes of industry in proportion to the amount of Pension Fund to the credit of each class. As of date October 31, 1925, actuarial revaluation of all outstanding pension fund obligations was made, the Board's actuarial tables being used. To the liability for each class thus ascertained was added a surcharge of two per cent. 24 1931 Condition of Funds 25 to allow for possible diverji;ence of actual from expected mortality. Deduction was made of the surcharj^ed liability in total for all the classes from the balance in the Pension Fund and the difference was retransferred to the current funds, proportional to each class accordinjj; to the balance in the Pension Fund. The sum transferred amounted to 8427,214.62. Further revaluation was made as of dates October 31, 1926, October 31, 1927, October 31, 1928, October 31, 1929, and October 31, 1930. On October 31, 1930, the Pension Fund showed a balance of 818,296,625.54, with liabilities of $18,191,965.81, an excess of funds over liabilities of 8104,659.73. Particulars of Pension Fund Table 10 gives particulars of the Pension Fund for each class. The balance in the fund at the commencement of 1930 was 817,352,229.71; 81,912,110.95 was transferred during the year for pension awards; 8884,200.08 interest (at the rate of five per cent., per annum, compounded half-yearly, which is the basis used in computing capitalized values of pensions) was added; and 81,685,208.41 was paid for pensions. The balance in the fund at the end of the year was 818.463,332.33. The transfers for pension awards during the year included 823,857.63 transferred from the Disaster Reserve to meet the extra cost of incurred disabil- ities superimposed upon previous disabilities, and 830,342.00 transferred from Silicosis Account to provide for pensions in cases of silicosis in Class 5. Disaster Reserve The Disaster Reserve is a fund set aside under the provisions of Section 99 (2) of the Act to meet any unforseen disaster or other circumstance which might unduly burden the employers in any class of industry. The fund has been accumulated by a transfer of one per cent, of the gross assessments up to the end of 1922, and for the year 1928. These are the only moneys set aside or held by the Board which do not directly cover liabilities actually incurred by reason of accidents which have already happened. The standing of the Disaster Reserve is shown in Table 11. The balance at the end of 1930 was 8269,498.16, 813,071.65 interest being added during the year to the 8280,284.14 in the fund at the beginning of the year, and 823,857.63 transferred to the Pension Fund. Compensation Deferred The funds included under "Compensation Deferred" comprise compensation moneys held at interest for claimants in Schedule 1, payment being deferred to a future time by reason of the claimant being a minor or for other reason. The condition of the fund is shown in Table 12. At the beginning of the year the amount on hand was 8115,141.51; deferred awards during the year amounted to 846,740.52, and 85,701.28 interest was added during the year; the payments during the year amounted to 853,215.29, of which 849,302.16 was for principal and 83,913.13 for interest, leaving a balance of 8114,368.02 at the end of the year. Silicosis Account Table 13 gives particulars of the Silicosis Account which was established to take care of special assessments and payments in Class 5 necessitated by the addition of "Silicosis" contracted in mining operations to the list of industrial diseases under the Act, by amendment effective April 8, 1926. The balance 26 Workmen's Compensation Board No. 28 in the account at the beginning of 1930 was $143,797.00; S223.29 was collected by assessment, and $2,714.05 was added as interest; withdrawals were $168,023. 14 of which $81,951.38 was for compensation, $9,003.40 for medical aid, 839,990.96 for salaries and expenses in connection with examination of underground mine workers, $3,085.27 for salaries and expenses of Referee Board, and 833,992.13 was transferred to the Accident Fund for the expenses of handling claims and supervision. The deficit in the account December 31, 1930, was 821,288.80. Investments Particulars of the Board's investments are given in Table 14. The total invested at the end of the year in Schedule 1 was 322,931,807.92, consisting of $20,790,302.37 value of investments at the beginning of the year, $3,026,250.11 invested during the year, $255,041.18 accrued interest (earned but not received), less 81,139,785.74 principal returned. Particulars of each investment are shown in the list, including kind of investment, particular security, yield of interest, term, par value, book value, and accrued interest. With the exception of short-date deposits of current funds intended for use before the current year's assessments are received, all investments consist of Province of Ontario bonds, municipal or municipally-guaranteed debentures, and Dominion of Canada guaranteed bonds. The average rate of interest received on permanent investments in Schedule 1 during 1930 was approximately 5.10 per cent., as compared with 5.04 per cent, in 1929, and 5.07 per cent, received during 1928. Three per cent, is received on current bank balances. Schedule 2 Funds The funds handled by the Board in respect of Schedule 2 industries include employers' deposits for pensions required to be made with the Board under the provisions of Section 28 of the Act, temporary deposits or advances of money made by employers under Section 32 to facilitate prompt payment of claims, and claimants' moneys held by the Board in cases of awards payment of which by reason of the claimant being a minor or for other reason is deferred to a future time.

It gives the final financial statement for Schedule 1 industries for the year, estimates of the adjustments of assessments and of the outstanding compensation and medical aid having to be used in the provisional statement given in Table 1 of the 1929 report; and it gives statistical information as to the accidents which happened during 1929, their causes, the nature of the injuries sulTered, the number, time loss, total and average cost of the different classes of cases, and the age, wage, nationality, and marital condition of the injured workmen. This information is contained in Tables 15 to 27. Final Financial Statement, Schedule 1, 1929 Table 15 gives the final financial statement for Schedule 1 industries for 1929, provisional figures for which were given in Table 1 of the 1929 report. It shows the income and credits and the expenditure and charges and the balance, for each class of industry; also the actual assessments and accident cost and other items of income and expenditure for each class, and the assessments and accident cost for each group of industry within the class. The list of indus- tries included in each class and group will be found in the Board's rate book, the list of industries in the different classes is also printed with the Act, and their general nature is indicated at the bottom of Table 1 of this report. The net income and credits for all the classes for the year were $7,759,864.44, and the net expenditure and charges, 87,288,083.20, leaving a surplus for the year of 8471,781.24. Adding the surplus forward from prior years, 81,078,880.11, leaves a net actual surplus of 81,550,661.35, as compared with a provisional or estimated surplus of 8429,421.73, the disparity being largely due to claims for accidents occurring in 1929 and prior years not being finally disposed of during 1930. Assessments and Accident Cost The assessments and accident cost (the latter comprising compensation and medical aid and payments on account of rehabilitation) in Schedule 1 for each year since the commencement of the Act, and the totals to the end of 1929, are as follows: Year Assessment Accident Cost 1915 $1,831,537 52 $1,091,020 43 1916 2,361,463 20 1,880,004 37 1917 2,662,383 29 2,639,560 56 1918 3,303,575 83 3,214,427 57 1919 3,840,949 07 4,474,847 38 1920 5,579,333 45 5,041,947 30 1921 4,594,452 37 4,277,034 67 1922 3,984,594 64 4,323,80107 1923 3,771,321 09 4,977,331 82 1924 4,524,700 86 4,746,314 60 1925 4,390,854 75 4,438,802 13 1926 5.167.126 64 4,711,970 90 1927 5,465,763 17 5,082,073 61 1928 6,739,696 80 6,083,772 14 1929 7,505,431 10 6,861,274 51 Totals $65,723,183 78 $63,844,183 06 40 1931 1929 Operations 41 Pay Roll and Rates of Assessment As assessments are in the form of a percentage of pay roll, the average rate paid by employers in Schedule 1 can be determined by dividing the total assess- ments for the year by the total pay roll.

The total number was 71,291, of which 417 were death cases, 3,372 cases involv- ing some degree of permanent disability, 32,920 temporary disability cases, and 34,582 cases which involved medical aid only. Schedule 2 cases involving medical aid only are not included as in these cases medical aid is furnished directly by the employer.

Statistical Distributions Tables 17 to 27 give statistical details regarding accidents and workmen, including, where the data is available, Schedule 2 and Crown cases as well as Schedule 1. Considerations of space preclude more extensive tabulations, but the original material is retained and still fuller information is always available concerning the accidents in any of the different classes of industry. Month of Occurrence Table 17 gives the month of occurrence of all accidents. The month in which the greatest number occurred during 1929 was July, with 6,802, and the month with the lowest number was December, with 4,874. Accidents According to Locality The distribution of accidents according to the county or district in which they occurred, is contained in Table 18. York had the highest number with 18,889, and next in order were Wentworth, with 5,633; Welland, with 4,599; Temiskaming, with 4,564; and Essex, with 3.894. The greatest number of deaths, 90, were in York; there were 33 in Sudbury; 28 each in Temiskaming and in Wentworth; and 23 in Welland.

Gentlemen: We have completed a continuous audit of the books of the Board for the year ended December 31, 1930, and have obtained all the information and explanations that we have required. In our opinion, the Statements of Receipts and Disbursements, Table 6, Schedules 1 and 2, do fully and fairly set forth the cash transactions of the Board for the Calendar Year 1930. Bank balances on hand at the close of the period have been verified by communication with the Board's bankers. The investments of the Board, as shown by the books as at December 31, 1930, amounting to $25,647,009.06, have also been verified by actual count. Respectfully submitted. Toronto, March 6, 1931.

Ball, Printer to the King's Most Elxcellent Majesty I93I Report of the Ontario Veterinary College To The HoNt)URABLE Thomas L. Kenni<:dy, Minister of Agriculture. Sir, — I have the honour to present herewith the following report of the Ontario Veterinary College for the year extending from November 1st, 1929, to October 31st, 1930. Commencement Exercises The Annual Commencement Exercises and Presentation of Prizes took place on November 15th, 1929, in the Assembly Hall at the College. On behalf of the College, I presided as Chairman, and those delivering addresses included Jas. Brebner, B.A., LL.D., Registrar of the University of Toronto, Ven. Arch- deacon G. F. Scovil, Rector of St. George's Church, and G. I. Christie, B.S.A., D.Sc, President of the Ontario Agricultural College. Dr. Brebner was the chief speaker, and he delivered an inspiring address. He interestingly reviewed the history of the College from its inception, and alluded to the part played by Prof. Geo. Buckland, who eighty years ago W'as Professor of Agriculture at the University of Toronto and a member of the Board of Agriculture for Upper Canada. Prof. Buckland visualized the need for veterinary education and was instrumental, in conjunction with the Hon. Adam Fergusson, in having the College established during the year 1862. Since that time the University of Toronto has always been keenly interested in the welfare of the College. The course in veterinary science has from the beginning progressed in common with the other learned professions. The need for keeping abreast of the times has been fully recognized by raising the standard of qualification for entrance and extending the course of instruction. He urged the students to maintain high ideals, to make lasting friendships, to know their fellow students, to know the men who are their instructors, and on graduation to take an active part in the civic life of their various communities. In concluding, he stressed the fact that while there were many motives for the young man acquiring a college education that unless the driving force was a desire and belief that we can do good for our fellow man and the community in which we live, we have failed from the start. In presenting the prizes, Ven. Archdeacon Scovil congratulated the winners and expressed the hope that they w'ould prove worthy of the honours and strive to help others. Student EnrolmExNt It is pleasing to report that the student enrolment has markedly increased. For the session ending April 30th, 1930, a total of 79 students were in regular attendance, of which 20 were in the first year class, 25 in the second year class, 19 in the third year class, and 15 in the senior class. Of the senior class 15 [3] THE REPORT OF No. 29 were successful in passing the final examinations and were graduated with the degree of Bachelor of \^eterinary Science (B.V.Sc.) conferred by the University of Toronto at a Special Con\ocation held on April 30th, 1930. During the present session, which commenced on October 1st, 1930, a total of 97 students have registered (an increase of 18 over the previous year), of which 36 are in the first year class, 19 in the second year class, 23 in the third year class, and 19 in the senior class. The requirements for University entrance are being complied with and less difficulty is being encountered in obtaining candidates with complete high school training and matriculation standing. Students were enrolled from each of the Provinces of Canada, as well as from distant parts of the British Empire and from many parts of the United States. The successful record of our graduates is also worthy of mention, in that all of our recent graduates have been successful in passing the civil service examinations for appointment as veterinary inspectors under the respective governmental de- partments. The demand for graduate veterinarians is also very encouraging, reflecting an increased interest in the promotion of animal husbandry by con- serving the health of farm animals. The Teaching Staff No changes have been made in the personnel of the staff^ during this year. Further leave of absence was granted Dr. R. Gwatkin to enable him to con- tinue his work under the direction of the Ontario Research Foundation. The personnel of the staff and their respective departments are as follows: C. D. McGilvray, M.D.V., D.V.Sc, Principal, Contagious Diseases, Sanitary Service. J. N. Pringie, M.R.C.\'.S., B.V.Sc, Sporadic Diseases, Dentistry. R. A. Mcintosh, M.D.V., BA'.Sc, Diseases of Cattle, Obstetrics, Pharmacy, Therapeutics. W. J. R. Fowler, \'.S., BA'.Sc, Surgery, Lameness, Materia Medica. H. D. Nelson, BA'.Sc, D.V.Sc, Anatomy. R.

Cote, V^S., B.V'.Sc, Canine and Feline Diseases. Angus Dunbar, Jurisprudence. Courses of Study and Instruction The regular undergraduate course is being further diversified in keeping with new developments. Additional attention is being given to pure science as well as clinical instruction and routine laboratory technique. The subject of Biology is receiving greater attention and a special course of instruction has been introduced relating to fur-bearing animals. A detailed outline of the undergraduate course of study and instruction is contained in the College Calendar which is distributed to those interested. During the month of July a special course of study was arranged under the auspices of the Ontario Provincial Silver Fox Breeders' Association relating to the Fox industry. The course of instruction was pro\ided by the Staff of the College aided by the staff of the Governmental Experimental Fur Farm at Kirkfield. The attendance was very gratifying, there being 72 breeders present for the full counse. The subjects dealt with included the following: Hygiene and Sanitation : (a) Selection of the fox ranch; desirable and undesirable locations. (b) Housing and pen arrangements; sheds, kennels and cook houses. TH1-: \i:ri:RiNAR\ (()iJ.i-.(.i. iok 19.^0 Breeding Prohlems : (a) Selective muting. (h) Obstetrical anatomy and reproductive functions. (c) Management of the pregnant female and care of the new ijorn. Common Diseases of the Fox : (a) Diseases of the respiratory system. (b) Diseases of the digestive system. (c) F(khI poisoning. (d) Rickets. (e) Miscellaneous diseases. Infectious Diseases : (a) Kpizootic encephalitis. (b) Paratyphoid fever. (c) Distemper. (d) Contagious lobar pneumonia. (e) Tuberculosis. Parasitic Diseases : (a) External parasites; control of ear miles, body mange and fleas. (b) Internal parasites; control of lung worms, hook and round worms, tape worms, bladder worms and coccidiosis. Miscellaneous Topics : (a) Disinfectants; their use and application. (b) Feeds and feeding. (c) Requirements of a good pelt. (d) Loss of "tips" in pups. A special conference was also provided for graduates during the month of Juh', which was attended by 60 veterinarians. The course was designed to meet the needs of those attending, and related to poultry diseases, their diagnosis, treatment and prevention; cattle diseases, including, infectious abortion, its prevention and control; hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle, sheep and swine; anemia in young pigs; diseases of new born animals; parasitic diseases of animals; diseases of breeding animals; biologies, their proper choice and application; dairy hygiene, including dairy and stable inspection. Special clinics and demonstrations were also arranged so as to correlate with the lectures. An arrangement has now been entered into with the University of Toronto to provide graduate work leading to the advanced Degrees of Master of Veterin- ary Science and Doctor of \^eterinary Science. The Statute and Regulations respecting these Degrees are as follows: University of Toronto Statute and Regulations respecting the Degrees of Master of Veterinary Science (M.V.Sc.) and Doctor of X^eterinarv Science (D.V.Sc.) That the regulations governing the degrees of Master of Veterinary- Science and Doctor of Veterinary Science be as follows: 1. The regulations governing these degrees shall be administered by a conjoint committee, consisting of two representatives of the School of Graduate Studies of the University, appointed by the President of the University, and two representatives of the Ontario \'eterinary College, elected by the Faculty of the College. The Dean of the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Toronto shall be ex officio member and chairman of the Committee. 2. Candidates to be eligible for either degree must have received the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Science (B.X'.Sc.) of the I "niversity of Toronto or must possess equivalent qualifications. 3. Application for registration as a candidate for either degree must be made to the Secretary of the School of Graduate Studies not later than the first THE REPORT OF No. 29 day of October in any year and the application must be accompanied by official statements of the applicant's degrees, of the courses pursued as an undergraduate and his standing therein, and of the course of study or investigation he wishes to pursue. Registration in the School of Graduate Studies must be repeated in each year of the course. 4. A candidate for either degree must satisfactorily.' undergo examination in the prescribed subjects of his course and must submit a thesis which shall be an original contribution to knowledge. Three printed or typewritten copies of his thesis must be deposited with the Secretary of the School of Graduate Studies not later than the first day of IVIay if the degree is expected to be con- ferred at the regular June Convocation, 5. The Conjoint Committee and representatives of the departments of the University of Toronto and of the Ontario Veterinary College concerned in the instruction of each candidate shall constitute a committee for the super- vision of the candidate's work and for the conduct of the required examinations. Curriculum Master of Veterinary Science (M.V.Sc.) A candidate for this degree will be required to spend not less than two academic years in advanced study and research. He must pursue a special course of advanced study extending over one full academic year in a department or departments of the University of Toronto and a second year either at the University of Toronto or at some other institution approved by the Conjoint Committee. He must prepare and submit a thesis on the terms indicated above and must take the required examinations. Doctor of \'eterinary Science (D.V.Sc.) This degree is intended as a mark of proficiency in original investigation or of professional eminence and will be conferred not less than three years after graduation. The candidate must prepare and submit a thesis on the terms indicated above and must present himself for examination as may be required. The courses leading to this degree may be pursued along either of two lines: (a) By a special study and research extending over a period of three years, the first year to be spent at the University of Toronto, the remaining two either at the University of Toronto or at some other institution approved by the Conjoint Committee; (b) By study and independent research conducted in connection with professional practice or otherwise in the field of Veterinary Science. I n such cases if the thesis is accepted, the Conjoint Committee may recommend the award of the degree without formal examination, and registration in the School of Graduate Studies will be required only for the year in which it is expected that the degree will be conferred. Research and Investigational Work While the College is regarded essentially as an educational institution for the training of candidates for the profession, nevertheless, a great deal of special research and in\-estigational work has to be undertaken. Certain members of the staff have, in addition to their regular class lectures, laboratory and other instructional work, been required to devote much of their time to routine work, and also to special researches, in so far as their other duties and the available THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 facilities will permit. The staff has thus been kept busily engaged thrcniglKHit the year. It is unfortunate that some phases of research work have remained in abeyance owing to the fact that to be properly conducted they required a great deal more time and attention than the regular teaching staff had at their disj)osal. The present staff, and the available facilities, should be considerably augmented so as to properly cope with the increased demands for special in- vestigational work. It is a field of service which offers immense possibilities, and should prove of lasting benefit to the livestock industry and bring additional credit to the Department. During the jjast year a consistent effort has been made to deal with the different problems presented in as efficient and effective a manner as possible. Several projects have received special attention and the progress made, with the results achieved, are embodied in the appended reports of the departments concerned. Extension Service The purpose of this service is to provide laboratory facilities and other assistance of a definite character to meet the needs of those requiring same. During the year an increasing number of specimens were received for laboratory examination. The increase was particularly noticeable as regards poultry diseases, including blood tests for pullorum disease, parasitic diseases of sheep and swine, diseases of fur-bearing animals, blood tests for infectious abortion in cattle. Owing to the wider publicity being given to the value of the agglutination test for the diagnosis of infectious abortion a greater desire is being manifested by cattle owners to hav, their cattle blood-tested with the view of establishing abortion-free herds. This has entailed a great deal of personal contact and correspondence with owners and veterinarians. It would appear that sooner or later more definite regulations may be justified to combat this live stock problem. Even at the present time there is a considerable need for more direct action being taken in regard to this disease. This need could be largely satisfied by the appointment of a number of trained field veterinarians to co-operate with owners and practising veterinarians in establishing abortion- free herds. There is still a perceptible demand from owners and veterinarians to be supplied with vaccines for the treatment of abortion-affected herds. We have, however, deemed it prudent only to supply the killed culture vaccine for this purpose, realizing that opinions for or against the use of abortion vaccines may be supported. The same may also be said as regards the promiscuous blood testing of cattle without definite regulations dealing with the reactors. At any rate, the number of blood tests being made are serving as an index in determining the extent of the disease as approximating at least twenty-five per cent, in actually affected herds. Unless more definite legislative control measures are provided and enforced a wider dissemination of the disease is likely. During the past year a total of five thousand three hundred (5,300) agglutination tests were made for abortion in cattle, and those concerned were furnished with laboratory reports of the results of the test for their guidance. The occurrence of hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle is causing considerable concern. The disease occurs chiefly during the fall months on premises where feeding cattle are introduced after being shipped from the Western Provinces. The losses from this disease could be greatly reduced if consignments of feeding cattle were vaccinated against hemorrhagic septicemia before leaving their 8 THE REPORT OF No. 29 original point of shipment. In all cases where specimens are sent for laboratory examination a detailed report of the findings is promptly sent to the one con- cerned. That this service is highly regarded is shown by many acknowledge- ments of appreciation, which have been a great source of encouragement for the further development of this useful and valuable service. This laboratory service also provides much valuable clinical material for instructional purposes and tends to create in students the background for more intensive methods of laboratory examination and scientific diagnosis. It also creates a greater desire and incentive for research work and frequently provides the opportunity. The number of specimens received and examined are specific- ally indicated under their respective departmental headings in the appended reports. Report of Visit to Veterinary Colleges and Animal Diseases Research Institutes in Scotland and England during the Months of July and August, 1930 Glasgow Veterinary College. — This institution is situated at 83 Buccleuch Street, Glasgow. The Principal at the present time is Alfred \V. Whitehouse, who graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College during the year 1894. From current reports this institution is apparently suffering from a lack of financial support. This is regrettable, as this College has served a useful purpose. The Principal and his staff are deserving of every encouragement in their self-sacrificing efforts to continue their labours under discouraging handicaps. Generally speaking, the college building should be replaced along modern lines and more adequately equipped. Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, Edinburgh. — This institution is situated in Summerhall Square, Edinburgh, and is under the direction of Principal O. Charnock Bradley. The building is fully modern and suitably equipped through- out. The class rooms are spacious and comfortable. All of the laboratories are well equipped. The museum contains a large collection of valuable specimens. There is also a large clinic and practice conducted by the College which affords plenty of material for clinical and practical instruction. Without doubt, the Royal (Dick) \'eterinary College is suitably located and well equipped through- out, supported by a staff of competent instructors. This College is suitably endowed through the Dick Endowment Fund, by Government grants, by grants from the Agricultural Society of Scotland, and by the Council of the City of Edinburgh. Moredun Animal Diseases Research Institute. — The institute is located at Moredun, near Edinburgh, and is supported by grants from the Agricultural Society of Scotland and also endowments and public subscriptions from leading agriculturists throughout Scotland. The main buildings contain a number of well-equipped laboratories suitable for research purposes. It also has twenty- five acres of land, suitably fenced and subdivided for the keeping of animals for research purposes. The Institute is under the direction of Dr. J. Russell Greig and he is ably supported by a number of assistants specializing in research into different diseases of animals, more particularly relating to diseases of cattle, horses and sheep, and to diseases of poultry. In addition to conducting investi- gations and research into animal diseases it supplies its subscribers with vaccine and sera for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as braxy in sheep. As a research institute it is suitably located with proper accommodation and i THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 efficiently staffed. Its work is carried on along similar lines to that of the Ontario X'eterinary College with regard to investigation and research work but naturally on a more extensive scale with a much larger staff and ample funds to prosecute its work. Royal Veterinary College, London, England. — This institution is located at Camden Town, London, and is under the direction of Principal Frederick Hobday. The buildings are old and in a poor state of repair. At the present time a movement is on foot to erect a new college at a cost of approximately one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Lord Harewood is taking a deep interest in securing this fund, which is to be provided by the Government and by private subscriptions. While the college buildings are old, at the same time the insti- tution is fairly well equipped in some departments and conducts a very large clinic and general practice. It is under capable direction and has a large staff of competent instructors. This institution has always had a good reputation but has been hampered for some years through the buildings becoming somewhat obsolete and out of repair. Great interest is being manifested in the affairs of the Royal \'eterinary College at London by prominent men who feel that veterinary science and veterinary education is entitled to better recognition than it has been receiving from departmental sources, and some of the news- papers, including the London Times, have been foremost in publicly espousing more adequate financial support for this institution. As a step towards improve- ment there has recently been built and equipped adjacent to the college an entirely new building for laboratory and research purposes with a competent additional staff so as to enable the instructors at the Veterinary College to devote more of their time to educational w^ork without being unduly burdened and troubled by increasing routine duties. Plans are being prepared for the new college building, and when the new buildings are completed this institution should be in a more favourable position. Veterinary Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries at Wey- bridge, Surrey. — This is a new laboratory maintained by the Ministry of Agri- culture and Fisheries of Great Britain at Haw, Weybridge, about 35 miles from London. The laboratory is under the direction of Dr. W. H. Andrews. This institution has a large staff of competent men who devote their entire time and attention to investigational and research work, more particularly as regards contagious diseases scheduled under The Animal Diseases Act. The diseases at the present time receiving most attention are hog cholera, swine plague, swine erysipelas, foot and mouth disease, rabies, hemorrhagic septicemia, sheep scab, braxy of sheep, parasitic infestations, and specific diseases affecting poultry. The laboratory also manufactures and distributes vaccines and sera, more especially as regards the treatment of hog cholera and infectious abortion in cattle. The institute itself is splendidly housed in a magnificent building of modern construction throughout with every sanitary convenience and adequately equipped throughout. Attached to the institute is approximately 100 acres of land, fenced and subdivided for the suitable maintenance of animals for investigational and research purposes. The institute is maintained and adequately supported by Government and apparently spares no pains or expense in maintaining plenty of help and providing suitable facilities and equipment for the satisfactory carrying on of the work. In comparison with Ontario we have nothing here to compare with this institute, but at the same time it is only fair to state that it is maintained and provided for by the Government of Great Britain and works in close co-operation with the office of the Ministry of Agri- 2 v.c. 10 THE REPORT OF No. 29 culture and Fisheries under the direction of Sir Ralph Jackson, Veterinary Inspector in charge of the Department of Veterinary Diseases of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Liverpool. — This institution is located adjacent to the University of Liverpool. It is under the direction of Professor J. Share-Jones and is accommodated in several buildings facing on Bedford Street. The College is well equipped in most departments and appears to maintain a close connection with the University. As a result students receive instruction from members of the University stafif in a number of the science subjects. The College maintains a practice and clinic sufficient for educational purposes, but does not engage extensively in general researches so that the stafif is permitted to devote most of their time and attention to selected researches and educational work. This plan appears to be quite adaptable in that it enables the stafif to concentrate more on routine instructional work with the students. Students attending this institution have the benefit of contact with the School of Tropical Medicine, enabling them to become more familiar with diseases occurring in tropical countries which still look to Great Britain as a source of supply for medical and veterinary skill. Conclusions.- — In comparing the status of veterinary education and research in Great Britain and here, I am pleased to state that we compare quite favourably with the best institutions elsewhere, with the exception that the Ontario Veterin- ary College has to make use of the available stafif both for educational, clinical, investigational and research work, while in Great Britain the Colleges are able to concentrate more on the educational work and to have investigational and research work handled more largely by the staffs of the dififerent research insti- tutes. This means that the burden is lighter on the individual members of the stafif and those concerned are able to concentrate more on definite and specific problems without interruption, such as takes place where the same individual has to attend to both teaching and routine work without abundance of help. After having visited the Royal (Dick) Veterinary College at Edinburgh, and the Moredun Research Institute, I am of the opinion that the Department should, at as early a date as convenient, provide a suitable acreage of land for the maintenance of animals for investigational and research purposes, and also provide a supplementary stafif to attend to the increasing routine work, so as to more successfully handle the increasing demands made upon the stafif at the present time and to enable the stafif to devote more individual attention to the specifiic duties which they are required to perform. All of which is respectfully submitted. C. D. McGlLVRAY, Principal. Guelph, Ontario, October 31st, 1930. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 11 CLINICAL DEPARTMENT The work of this department embraces the applied branches of veterinary medicine and surj^ery. AH animals brought to the clinics are carefully examined after which treatment is prescribed and operations performed as may be required. The cases are carefully selected and made use of to impart instruction to the students by means of lectures and special demonstrations. A list of the clinical cases relating to the different classes of animals are recorded under their re- spective headings, and a number of interesting conditions are embodied as special articles in the report.

A. McIntosh, M.D.V., BA\Sc. Veterinarians and livestock owners are well aware of the prevalency of this disease. The conditions under which it occurs and its diagnosis are well known. The means which may be taken to prevent its occurrence and the handling of outbreaks of it are fairly well understood, but because of the fact that we at this institution frequently receive complaints and inquiries regarding violent reactions and in some instances losses of animals following the adminis- tration of some protective biological agent, it is felt that an outline of the proper measures of control would be of value in this report. The indiscriminate use of some biological vaccination preparations without thoughtful consideration of the condition of the animal to which it is to be administered is fraught with danger. This is particularly true when the vaccination of animals is undertaken in a herd at the time of an outbreak of the disease. At the present time there are three biological preparations used as pro- tective inoculations against the disease. These are hemorrhagic septicemia aggressin, hemorrhagic septicemia bacterin and anti-hemorrhagic septicemia serum. The intelligent use of any one of these agents requires a clear concep- tion of what they are, how they are obtained, how they protect or immunize an animal, and when they should be used. The term aggressin is applied to the products of bacterial growth in the tissues of an infected animal without which the organism cannot produce disease. It is found in the inflammatory exudates. The hemorrhagic septicemia aggressin is obtained from animals which have been artificially inoculated and have died from the disease. The inflammatory exudates are extracted from diseased tissue and body cavities. It is then made sterile by Berkefeld filtration and the addition of a preservative. When injected into an animal as an immunizing agent it stimulates the production of anti-aggressins and arouses other pro- tective faculties of the body, thus creating an active immunity. It can at once be seen, however, that such a preparation administered to an amimal coming down with the disease w^ould tend to hasten the occurrence of the condition rather than to be protective. The aggressin should never be used as a curative but only as an immunizing agent in healthy non-exposed animals. The hemorrhagic septicemia bacterin is a suspension of killed cultures from a virulent strain of the organism which causes the disease. The adminis- tration of this preparation produces an active immunity and susceptible animals can be protected by its use. Like the aggressin it should not be used on animals that are fevered or manifesting symptoms of the disease. It is probably less dangerous than the aggressin in this respect and is even claimed to be curative in small, repeated doses. The advisability of using it in the treatment of the disease is questionable for on occasions it aggravates the condition and severe reactions follow. The anti-serum is derived from the blood of animals which have been hyperimmunized with cultures of the hemorrhagic septicemia organism. It is a passive immunizing agent, that is, the immunity is conferred by the adminis- tration of the preparation. An animal injected with the anti-sera is almost immediately protected and it also possesses distinct curative properties. It is the only safe biological agent to administer in the actual treatment of the disease. The reason it is curative lies in the fact that the serum, having been obtained from animals hyperimmunized, contains antibodies and other protective quali- THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 17 ties which, when introduced into the body of an affected animal, at once neutral- ize and offset the disease-producinj>; powers of the organism. The disease occurs most frequently in the fall and spring in changeable weather. Animals subjected to shipping are apparently most susceptible, for many outbreaks follow the shipment of cattle from one place to another. Thus feeder cattle purchased in the stock yards and taken to some farm to fatten quite often are infected, take sick and may infect a considerable number of the stock owner's young cattle of his own raising. In some districts and on some farms the infection appears to be indigenous and spontaneous outbreaks occur. These peculiarities of the disease are significant and indicate the times at which immunization should be established. Susceptible cattle should be vaccinated in the early fall before changeable weather sets in, and, in the event of them being shipped, two weeks prior to transportation. For this purpose the aggressin or the bacterin may be used. Either of these agents stimulate the production of an active immunity in about ten days or two weeks. In handling outbreaks of the disease the affected animals should be isolated. The stabling accommodation on some farms is not sufficient to provide complete isolation in many instances, but one should take every means possible to prevent the younger members of the herd in particular from being exposed. They should be vaccinated at once and preferably with the anti-serum, for it gives immediate protection. It may also be used on the affected animals for its cura- tive effect. Many use the bacterin in an outbreak of the disease, at which times it quite often proves to be effectual in protecting the animals and halting the progress of the disease, but on occasions violent reactions and even deaths occur following its use. The reactions observed simulate anaphylaxis and it may be that the animals in which the reactions occur are sensitized by the presence of the infection in their bodies and they are just commencing to come down with the disease. Before injecting any animal with either the aggressin or the bacterin where an outbreak of the disease exists, it would be advisable to take their temperatures and carefully examine them to determine whether there are any indications of them having contracted the disease or not. Further- more, it is also advisable to enquire as to whether they have been injected previously or not. Accordingly it would be much safer to use the anti-serum during the course of the disease, and later on after the acute manifestations of the outbreak had disappeared to use an active immunizing agent for permanent effect. Hygienic and sanitary measures should be established and the disinfection of the premises carried out. Latterly it has been claimed that febrile diseases of this nature are greatly favoured by an acidosis condition, and that the free use of some alkaline agent such as sodium bicarbonate in the food and drinking water provided for the animals is of great value, both as a curative agent and for the maintenance of their powers of resistance,. Hemorrhagic Septicemia Complicated with Impaction OF the Omasum Clinic No. 38, November 15th, 1930 — The history of this case is as follows: There were twenty-five head of cattle in the herd, nine of which were adults, the remainder all young cattle. Two western steers had been bought out of a shipment and placed in the herd. As a whole the cattle were in fair flesh and for the last three weeks had been on rape pasturage. It w^as noticed that both of the western steers had a cough and did not thrive very well, but both of them 18 THE REPORT OF No. 29 recovered. Four other animals took sick and died over a period of about two weeks. The animal presented in this clinic was nine months old and at first it was noticed coughing and discharging from the nostrils. It was kept in for a few days but would not eat, was reluctant about moving and grunted when breathing. It died the morning of this examination. Post-mortem Examination. — The carcass presented an unthrifty appearance, although it was not emaciated. Rigor mortis was well established. When skinned the peripheral circulation in the subcutis appeared normal. On opening the abdomen the intestinal tract showed slight evidence of enteritis. The rumen was apparently normal. No abnormality or degenerative changes were seen in the liver or kidneys. The omasum, however, was very hard to feel and when opened found to be tightly impacted with dried ingesta. In the thoracic viscera one lobe of the right lung was in a pneumonic condition. Pus could be squeezed from the bronchioles of its cut surface. Swabs from the diseased lung subjected to bacteriological staining and culture revealed the presence of the bipolar organism of hemorrhagic septicemia. In summing up the history of these cases and the information gained through the autopsy it was felt that the cause of the losses in this herd were primarily due to hemorrhagic septicemia brought in by the purchase of the two western cattle. The animal on which the post-mortem was held, however, apparently died from the omasal impaction which no doubt followed the febrile condition produced by the pneumonic lung. The lung lesion was not sufiiciently ex- tensive to cause death but unquestionably would cause fever and debility. The owner was advised to have the remaining members of the herd care- fully examined and vaccinated against hemorrhagic septicemia. No further report was received from him. Mummification of the Fetus When a fetus dies during intrauterine life, in the vast majority of cases it is promptly expelled. On some occasions, however, it is retained within the uterus where it may undergo maceration and putrid decomposition or possibly mummification. By the term mummification of the fetus is indicated a con- dition in which the fetus dies and the fetal fluids, both those contained in the membranes and those which form a part of the fetal tissue, are gradually absorbed until nothing is left but the hard, dry, blackened fetal body. The skeletal structures, the skin and possibly remnants of the fetal appendages may be found, but they are dehydrated. The uterus contracts firmly down on the mass where it may be palpated as a firm, unyielding body. In order that mummification occurs it is essential that the uterus was sterile when the death of the fetus took place, and also that the cervical seal remained intact and impervious, for if the uterus were infected or the cervix open the fetal body would soon become the prey of saprophytic bacteria. As an example the following case is reported. Clinic No. 125, January 16, 1930. — The subject presented was a Jersey cow three years old. She had given birth to her first calf on November 23rd, 1928, over a year previous to this examination. She was bred about three months after the birth of her first calf and apparently conceived with that service — oestrum ceased and other signs of pregnancy became manifest, but about the fifth or sixth month of the gestation period the cumulative signs of pregnancy ceased. She continued to milk well and at no time was there any indication of indisposal or sickness. Ultimately she went past the parturition TH1-: \ETKRINARV COLLEGE FOR 1930 19 time without calving, and at about eleven months after having apparently concei\ed she was submitted to the clinic for examination. When examined the cow was in good state of nutrition and appeared normal in every way. The history of these cases, however, is always significant and accordingly a vaginal and rectal examination was made. The vagina was normal and the cervix tightly constricted with its seal well formed and intact. By rectal manipu- lation a firm body could be felt in the right cornua of the uterus. A well formed corpus luteum on the right ovary was palpated. These findings substantiated the thought that mummification of the fetus had occurred. It was decided to artificially abort the mummy. The procedure in ac- complishing this is outlined as follows: The first day the corpus luteum of pregnancy was dislodged from the ovary by rectal manipulation. A catheter was inserted into the cervix and belladonna injected along the course of the cervical canal. The second day some cervical dilation was evident and gauze saturated with belladonna ointment was packed into the canal. The third day more dilation was evident and again the cervix was packed with gauze. On the fourth day considerable cervical dilation had occurred and pelvic relaxa- tion was noted. The cervix was again packed with a gauze plug smeared with belladonna ointment. On the fifth day expulsive efforts and uneasiness were evident. A vaginal examination revealed the fetal mummy forced up into the cervix. It was grasped and by gentle traction removed. The chorionic membrane was intact around the fetal body. Subsequently the uterus was irrigated with a return flow catheter and in a short time reverted to its normal non-gravid state. In this instance when the fetus was withdrawn from the uterus a con- siderable amount of dark brown, soft material was found around it outside of the chorionic membrane. It had the appearance of a blood clot from which the fluid had been extracted. The volume of this material would equal the volume of the mummy and there is no doubt but what this had been an extensive uterine hemorrhage into the utero chorionic space. In all probability it was responsible for the separation of the maternal cotyledons and the fetal chorionic tufts and subsequently the death of the fetus. Uterine hemorrhages during pregnancy are seldom recognized but they may be more common than what is known. The size of the fetal mummy indicated that it had perished at about the fifth month of the gestation period. The body was opened and smears taken for bacteriological culture but they proved to be sterile. To the dam the agglutination test for Bang's disease was applied but it also proved negative. This animal was discharged from the college hospital on January 31st, 1930, and the owner advised to have her bred on the second occurrence of oestrum. A report received from him on September 9th, 1930, stated that she conceived with the one service and that she was expected to calve early in December, 1930. In producing artificial abortion the dislodgement of the corpus luteum is most essential. It may not be necessary to pack the cervix as was done in this case, but it is felt that it facilitates dilation and in any event these cases should be kept under daily observation to note the progress of cervical dilation and to assist the removal of the fetal body when expulsive efforts are manifested. 20 THE REPORT OF No. 29 URINARY LITHIASIS IN CATTLE By R. A. McIxTOSH, M.DA\, BA'.Sc. \'eterinary literature on the subject of renal calculi, either as to their etio-. logical factors or their clinical manifestations, is both rather meagre and vague. Because of the fact that a considerable number of cases have come under the observation of the writer during the last few years, he feels that certain character- istic features noticed will be of value to the profession. Nephrolithiasis occurs in two forms, one which may be spoken of as the formation of non-inflammatory calculi, the other as the result of or coincident with certain inflammatory lesions within the renal organs. The urine holds a considerable variety of salts in solution. The laws which govern this solution and the conditions which lead to a precipitation of the salts are, however, but imperfectly understood in either form of its occurrence. The precipitation of solids depends only in part upon their concentration in the urine, for numerous observations have shown that the amount and character of urinary sediments bears no definite relationship to the concentration of these various substances in the urine. Certain constituents like uric acid and the urates are more apt to be precipitated from acid urine, while others like calcium phosphate and oxalate are more apt to be precipitated from alkaline urine. It should be noted that many salts are present in the urine in a concentra- tion far greater than can be attained in a simple aqueous solution of these same salts. This is true of uric acid, the urates and calcium oxalate. Nor is this high concentration in the urine a simple supersaturation. When crystals of salt are added to a supersaturated solution the excess of salt is rapidly pre- cipitated. If, on the other hand, crystals of uric acid be added to urine the precipitation of uric acid takes place slowly and less completely than if the crystals were added to a supersaturated solution of uric acid in water. Even after many hours the amount of uric acid still dissolved in the urine may be several times the amount that pure water will hold in solution. Apparently, therefore, many salts of the urine are held in solution by other urinary constituents. According to Lichwitz, colloidal substances play the most important role in maintaining this solution. When urinary salts are separated from these colloidal substances by dialysis and the dialyzate is con- centrated to the original volume of the urine used, a sediment of uric acid, calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate is formed. Clear alkaline urines become cloudy only after hours, whereas if shaken with ether so as to remove the colloids soluble in ether, a precipitation of phosphates may occur immediately. Changes in the urinary colloid may also account for the fact that a variety of salts are frequently precipitated at one time, as well as for the observation that a patient who at one time shows numerous calcium oxalate crystals in fresh urine may at another time show only phosphate precipitated. The composition of calculi varies considerably depending upon that part of the renal tract in which they are formed and also, to some extent, the species of animal. Calculi found in the pelvis of the kidney are usually composed chiefly of calcium oxalate. Less commonly such stones are made up of uric acid, urates, cystin, xanthin and other ingredients. In the bladder, where alkaline decomposition of the urine frequently follows an obstruction in the lower urinary tract, stones containing considerable calcium carbonate and basic phosphates are common, for these salts are rapidly precipitated from an alkaline urine. If the bladder urine remains acid, uric acid stones may occur. In ad- THE X'KTERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 21 dition to these crystalline substances all urinary calculi contain a framework composed of protein matter. If the mineral portion of a stone be dissolved, this organic residue can be stained with eosin and it is seen to extend through all portions of the stone. The nucleus of a urinary calculus may be composed of foreign matter. Various foreign substances when introduced and left in the bladder have become centres of stone formation. In the centre of the stone may be found parasites, clumps of bacteria, an old blood clot or a shred of tissue. More commonly, however, the nucleus of the stone contains no such foreign material but appears, like the stone itself, to be formed by a precipitate composed of mineral and colloidal elements. The development of a calculus is greatly favoured by urinary stasis, for it is evident that under ordinary circumstances nuclei while still small will be readily evacuated in the urine, and no opportunity is given for the gradual growth of a calculus. It has been previously indicated that there are two forms of calculi: those occurring as a result of inflammatory lesions in the renal organs, the others of non-inflammatory origin. The former are occasionally seen in cases of pyelone- phritis in cattle. These result from the decomposition of the urine from the action of ammoniac fermentation during which process phosphoric ammonia magnesium and uric acid ammonia are thrown down and these by uniting form calculi. The non-inflammatory calculi follow the saturation of the urine with stone-forming salts. If these crystals are not removed they will develop crystal- lization points upon which more stone forming salts will be deposited, even from urine which has become normal. In this way shell calculi are formed. Shell calculi are those upon which layer after layer of stone-forming salts have been deposited in concentric rings until finally a relativ^ely large calculus is formed. In the writer's experience it has been observed in cattle that the tendency is for the calcareous material to remain in a relatively fine form, much of it being passed w'ith each act or urination. The sediment may be found in the pelvis of the kidney, in the bladder, and in the male animal along the course of the urethra, particularly at the sigmoid flexure of the penis, in the sheath, and in- variably particles of it will be found adherent to the preputial tuft of hairs. Clinically one seldom meets with cases of the non-inflammatory form in the female of the bovine species. This is probably explained in the fact that the cow due to her short urethral canal and pose during the act of urination flushes out the bladder more rapidly and completely than does the male. At the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph a relatively large herd of beef type animals of the Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford breeds are kept. Each year a number of young male animals are castrated and kept for feeding experi- ments in baby beef production The College also has an equally large herd of dairy type cattle, but the young males are left entire and for the greater part disposed of for breeding purposes. There is very little difference in the care, management and feeding of the young animals during the calf period except that the beef calves are allowed to suckle their dams while the dairy type calves are pail fed. The water supply and the character of the food provided is much the same. A considerable number of cases of urinary lithiasis have occurred in the steers of the beef herd. During the past winter five. With one exception those cases have all been in young steers. The exception was in a Shorthorn bull calf about six months old and still nursing. There have never been any cases in the dairy herd. The ages of steers affected range from six to eighteen months. As a rule they are castrated at from four to eight weeks of age before any sexual 22 THE REPORT OF No. 29 instinct arises and the penis remains relatively small and undeveloped. The water supplied is quite hard and by chemical analysis contains approximately twenty-seven grains of inorganic salts per gallon. Calcium and magnesium bicarbonate are preponderant. There is also calcium chloride and sulphate to a considerable extent. Their food supply consists of leguminous hay and silage for roughage. Roots, chiefiy turnips, are also fed with a grain ration of oats, bran and calf meal. They are usually allowed to suckle their dams during the lactation period. By these methods they are always kept in a high state of nutrition. They do not, however, get very much exercise for they are only allowed out in paddocks for a short time during the day. It is very difficult to definitely determine the cause of the condition in the animals in which it occurs. Why a precipitation of the stone-forming salts should take place in a few and not in all of them when they are kept under similar management and care can hardly be explained, unless those in which it does occur possess a diathesis for it. There are, however, certain contributary factors which undoubtedly have to do with its occurrence. The character of the water and food supply. The water is heavily laden with lime salts and the food consumed is produced on soil rich in magnesium and calcium. Animals fed on such foods would in all probability excrete a urine saturated with salts of this character. The fact that they are only allowed a limited amount of exercise and stabled in quarters where the temperature is maintained at about the same level also has a bearing on the production of it. Such animals do not drink as much water or micturate as frequently as those which are allowed greater liberty or are required to move from one place to another more. This would tend to increase the density of the urine. The longer the urine is retained in the bladder the greater the tendency is for precipitation to occur. The un- developed penis, with its small urethral canal and sigmoid flexure lends itself to the retention of calcareous material which may ultimately completely obstruct the urinary passage. Prior to the complete obstruction of the urethra there is no evidence of ill health or disease except that the presence of stone-forming material may be noticed adherent to the preputial tuft of hairs. The presence of this material indicates that stone-forming salts are being precipitated and carried off with the urine. In these cases of non-inflammatory origin the precipitation apparently takes place within the bladder, for on no occasion has there been found any calcareous material in the kidneys or ureters. As the steer urinates rather slowly only a portion of the precipitate is carried off. Much of it remains in the bladder forming numerous small, round calculi which remain in this form. Occasionally a number of them may become clustered together in a shred of mucous and form a stone as large as a bean, but as a rule they remain inde- pendent and small. When obstruction of the urethral canal occurs it is always at the sigmoid flexure of the penis. This is another site that lends itself to the accumulation of the small calculi as they drift down with each act of urination. Ultimately a sufficient number will collect at this point to completely obstruct the urethra. The small stones become more or less cemented together forming a cylindrical shaped calculus. Obstruction causes retention of the urine and finally the bladder becomes enormously distended leading to frequent attempts at urination, renal colic and other manifestations of pain and distress. The animal refuses to eat, bellows at times, and will on occasions lie down and refuse to get up. By manipulation of the penis just posterior to the base of the scrotum one can in some instances definitely locate the seat of the obstruction in it. It will be recognized by its firmness at that point and also its sensitiveness. A THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 23 rectal examination will reveal a bladder greatly distended with urine extending forward into the abdominal cavit\'. The significant features which enable a clinical diagnosis are frequent attempts at urination, the presence of calcareous material on the preputial tuft of hairs and in the sheath, and the distended bladder. In the writer's experience with these cases the ol)structic)n has always been at the sigmoid flexure of the penis. Post-mortem examination usually reveals a considerable amount (from a few drachms to several ounces) of stone-forming material in the bladder and a sufficient accumulation of it in the penis to completely occlude the lumen of the urethra. This obstructive stone can often be readily broken up by pressure between the thumb and fingers. The walls of the bladder have been so stretched that hemorrhages take place in them, givir^g it the appearance of a large red mass. The urine of course under these circumstances becomes blood-tinged and in the larger animals as much as a gallon of it has accumulated. In the handling of these cases there are three procedures, any one of which may be chosen. Immediate slaughter salvaging the carcass is one. The second consists of an operation in which the surgeon cuts down on the urethra at the point where it passes over the ischial arch into the tissues of the penis, whereby temporary relief can be obtained. Through this incision the operator may irrigate and flush out the bladder, removing any calcareous material which may be left in it. The animal will continue to urinate through this artificial urethral opening until all danger of tainted flesh is past or even until such time as is required to fatten him. Because of the fact that these newly formed urethral calculi can be broken down, it occurred to the writer to try another surgical procedure which in some instances has proven successful. It consists of cutting down on the penis at the sigmoid flexure where the obstruction usually exists. The penis is then grasped with the thumb and finger over the site of the obstruction, applying pressure and rolling it for the purpose of breaking up the calculus and with the pressure of the accumulated urine above it the pieces of the calculus pass out. This operation has only been tried in a few cases, on which occasions it proved successful, but it is felt that it will be beneficial in many cases in these young steers with newly formed calculi. There is, of course, always the possibility of a recurrence, but by providing a more succulent diet, more exercise and giving a diuretic which increases the volume of the urine, further trouble may be avoided. This operation could be performed on bulls but it is unlikely that they would remain fit for service because subsequent adhesions, the result of the operative wound at the flexure of the penis, would probably interfere with the prolongation of the organ at the time of copulation. The site of the incision is posterior to the base of the scrotum on the median line. An incision about 3 inches long and 2 inches in depth is required. Epidural anaesthesia, or local anaesthesia with the animal in the recumbent position, is the most suitable restraint. The wound heals readily and quickly without suturing. On one occasion in an adult dairy bull the penis was grasped at the base of the scrotum without incision, and by applying pressure and manipulation the stone was broken up and dislodged after which the animal urinated a large quantity of blood-stained urine. The urine which came away first contained pieces of calculi and a blood clot. While such manipulation is possible in dairy type bulls it is not likely that one could successfully handle beef type bulls or fat steers for the penis is deeply imbedded in fat. The occasions in which one meets with calcareous deposits and stone for- mation resulting from inflammatory changes within the renal organs of cattle 24 THE REPORT OF No. 29 are more rare and as a rule in more mature animals. In the College clinic a few such cases have been submitted for examination and treatment. There have also been a few specimens of kidneys from autopsied animals in which calcareous deposits were found. In these cases there has consistently been evidence of pyelonephritis. The following report of an investigational visit to a farm on which a number of cases occurred is, however, the best example of such a condition. The herd was composed of Guernsey and Jersey cows which were kept chiefly for milk production. The stabling quarters were clean, sanitary, and well ventilated. The farm itself was of small acreage and consequently little opportunity was available to allow the cows on pasturage, with the result that they were more or less stable fed continuously .throughout the year. The grain ration consisted of rolled oats, bran, oilcake, and wet brewers' grains. Their roughage was silage and alfalfa hay. The water supply was piped in from the town close by. It was very hard and heavily laden with inorganic salts. Late in the winter of 1929-30 several of the cows were noticed somewhat indisposed and when urinating passed blood-tinged urine. Veterinary assistance was secured but one of the first animals affected died. One of her kidneys was forwarded to the College for examination and when split open accumulations of calcareous material surrounded by zones of degenerated tissue could be seen. Microscopically round celled infiltration about the glomeruli and other de- generative processes were quite evident. Following this a request was made for assistance to determine the nature of the disease. When examined it was found that three animals were noticeably affected and two others mildly so. The most severe case was in a three year old heifer. Her appetite was very poor, she did not ruminate, and she had had convulsions on a few occasions. Her coat was rough and dry and she was losing flesh rapidly. The pulse 80 and her temperature 101.5° Fah. A small amount of bloody urine which contained shreds of tissue was obtained from the bladder with a catheter. By rectal examination the left kidney was found enlarged and sensitive to manipu- lation. At the time of this examination she appeared somewhat better than she had been previously. Furthermore, it was learned that during the summer this heifer had manifested symptoms of urinary trouble while on pasture but she had apparently entirely recovered. The second animal examined was an aged cow whose urine was pink in colour, passed in small amounts and too frequently. Bladder and urethral irritation was manifested by continued straining and switching at the conclusion of the act of micturation. This cow was not greatly indisposed for her appetite remained good and her pulse and temperature normal. The third cow was also an aged animal and presented symptoms similar to those noted in the second case. The other two were ver>' mild cases which could only be detected by a slight discoloration of their urine. The animal which was most severely affected was slaughtered a few days after the examination and her kidneys were obtained. Both of them were affected showing degenerative changes macroscopically and microscopically indicative of pyelonephritis. Again, as in the first kidney examined, calcareous precipitates were found. By bacteriological culture the Corynehacillus renalis was isolated but it was not felt to be pathogenic, for inoculation in experimental animals was negative. The stone-forming material which had been precipi- tated in the kidneys of these cases has not as yet assumed the form of calculi. In other instances of greater duration calculi have been formed. In these cases the precipitation of stone-forming material is no doubt due to the changes in the character of urine as a result of the pyelonephritis. THH \ ETKRINARV COLLEGK FOR 1930 25 I'nfortunateK' when extensive calculus formation has occurred in either form of the condition there is Httle that can be done, other than gi\'ing tem{3orary rehef. In the wa\- of preNention, certain measures may be estabhshed which will offset the tendenc\ for their occurrence.

PREPUTIAL LESIONS IN A YOUNG BULL Clinic No. JOS, April 1st, 1930. — The subject of this report was a young Shorthorn bull of exceptional quality and fancy breeding. When he reached the age of sexual maturity and it was desired to use him for service it was found that he was unable to copulate successfully. Sexual appetite was manifest but the ability to complete the act was lacking. Because the animal gave promise of being a highh- desirable sire he was submitted to the clinic for examina- tion. The character of the lesions found interfering with the copulatory act was of such a nature that they could be easily overlooked unless a very thorough examination was made. While in the writer's experience the condition is rather unusual, at the same time it is felt that a report of this case may be of value. He was of a nervous disposition and before proceeding with the examination he was given two ounces of chloral hydrate and, as it was anticipated to protrude the penis, he was also injected through the first intercoccygeal space with a procaine solution to produce pelvic anaesthesia. As soon as there was evidence of these agents producing their action he was cast and tied. He was then placed in dorsal recumbency and the examination proceeded with. The opening of the sheath was everted and here a ring of ulcers was found completely encircling the orifice. They were encrusted with scabs and scurf and bled easily w^hen manipulated. Some swelling existed thus rendering the orifice of tlie sheath smaller. The extremity of the penis and other related parts were apparently normal and it was decided that these lesions were solely responsible for his inability to copulate. Before letting him up the parts were thoroughly cleansed and irrigated with an antiseptic solution. A 2% mercurochrome ointment with lanolin as the menstruum was prepared for daily application to the parts. In the course of two weeks the lesions had all disappeared and he was apparently sound. A subsequent report from the owner indicated that the treatment applied was successful for he had no further difticulty in getting the animal to breed. Ax Arrest ix the Developmext of the Gexital Orgaxs Occasionally when examining cows and heifers for sterility, cases are sub- mitted in which congenital malformations are responsible for the failure of the animal to conceive. In the history of the sterility clinics conducted at this institution white heifers of the Shorthorn breed are more frequently affected in this manner than any others. No logical reason for this phenomena occurring in these pure white heifers has been determined except that it may be due to inbreeding. According to \Mlliams' text on Diseases of the Genital Organs the true case of "White Heifer" disease is one in which a persistent hymen is the main defect, but in our records we have on a number of occasions examined cases where the abnormalities were not confined to the genital orifice alone. 3 v.c. 26 THE REPORT OF No. 29 In some instances there is an arrest in the development of other parts of the genital tube. The condition is unquestionably a congenital one, although it usually passes unnoticed until the age of sexual maturity is attained. Recently a case of this nature was submitted to the clinic for examination and the findings are considered of sufficient interest to include in this report. Clinic No. 493. September 26th, 1930. — This heifer was one of a Shorthorn herd which is kept for breeding and demonstration purposes. She was pure white in colour, of good conformation, and possessed feminine characteristics. On inquiring into her blood lines it was found that she was not inbred at all but rather her breeding was one of the most remote in the herd. She did not manifest estrum at as early an age as some others of the heifers, but ultimately she came in season and was bred when about two years old. After this she never appeared in estrum again and it was assumed that she had conceived. Late in the pregnancy period, when she should have been manifesting visible signs of pregnancy, it was noticed that there was very little change in her appear- ance except that of normal growth. At the time of this examination she had passed the parturition time. An examination was requested to determine the nature of her condition. A glass speculum was used to examine the vaginal passage. It could only be introduced a short distance beyond the hymenal stricture. The vagina termin- ated in a blind, pointed extremity. No cervical os could be seen. Rectal manipulation revealed two uterine cornua each containing a quantity of fluctuat- ing material, a smaller amount being in the left one. There was no uterine body and no cervix. Two parallel cords lying side by side could be traced along the floor of the pelvis back to the point where they became enlarged to form the cornua. These were remnants of the ducts of Mueller. The left oviduct was cystic and the left ovary contained a corpus luteum undergoing cystic degeneration. Both the right oviduct and ovary were apparently normal. She was hopelessly incapable of reproduction. Slaughter was recommended and the genital organs were procured for further examination. The findings observed in the ante-mortem examination were substantiated. The fluid contained in the uterine cornua was of thick consistency, dark brown in colour, about a quarter of a pint in the left horn and about half a pint in the right one. There was no connection between the two cornua, the membrane dividing them at the posterior extremity where they were joined together being almost as dense as their walls. They terminated abruptly at the point where normally the cervical passage should lead to the vagina. The ducts of Mueller seemed to disappear at this point but could be picked up again at about the place where the funnel-shaped extremity of the vagina terminated. In all of our experience in the clinic we have not met with a case identical to this one. \^'e have had cases in which there was a persistent hymen and cases in which there was an occlusion of the uterine cornua with a collection of fluid anterior to the stricture, but this is our first case in which there was not even a vestige of cervix. No explanation is offered as to the reason why these white heifers of the Shorthorn breed are so prone to these defects. The question, has this condition any relation to the fact that the skin of these animals is un- pigmented? naturally arises. Is there some factor lacking in either the ovum or the spermatozoa whose fusion initiated the development of this animal? Herd Sterility The following report of the examination of fourteen cows in a herd where considerable difficulty was experienced in getting a number of the cows to THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 27 conceive indicates the variety of conditions that may l)e encountered where genital diseases are prevalent. The majority of the herd were grade Guernseys. There were also a few Jerseys and a few purebreds of both breeds. At one time abortion had been quite prevalent but at the present time only occasional cases were occurring, the greatest difficulty being sterility. The herd was kept for milk production and fed heavily for this purpose. Amongst the animals sub- mitted for examination were several that the owner was not sure whether they had conceived or not. Cow No. 3 — Cervicitis. Cow No. 5 — Pregnant. Cow No. 9 — Nutritional deficiency. This cow had been milking heavily over a long period of time (almost two years) and she had on occasions mani- fested stiffness and lameness such as is seen in osteomalcia. Depraved appetite was also noticed. Cows affected in this manner quite frequently do not conceive and it was felt that the deficiency was responsible, for the genital tract was apparently normal. Cow No. 11 — Cervicitis and endometritis. By the use of an irrigating fluid and a return flow catheter purulent e.xudate was obtained from the uterus indicating endometritis. Cow No. 12 — \'aginitis. Cow No. 19 — Pregnant. Cow No. 20 — Cervicitis, ovaries indurated, the right being involv^ed in adhesions. Case considered hopelessly sterile. Cow No. 21 — Pregnant. Cow No. 26 — Cervicitis. Cow No. 27 — Atonic uterus, atrophic ovaries. Had been milking twenty- one months. Latterly had not appeared in estrum. Cow No. 28 — \'aginitis, no estrum, 'well developed corpus luteum on the left ovary which was dislodged. Aged Purebred Guernsey — Cervicitis, no estrum, milking for twenty months. Corpus luteum on right ovary dislodged. V^irgin Jersey Heifer — Ovaries small, atretic follicle present on the right ovary. Guernsey — Vaginitis, cervicitis, left ovary cystic, irregular estrum. The history and findings of each case was recorded and an outline of treat- ment advised depending on the nature of the condition affecting each individual. In the treatment of sterility every factor which may have a bearing on its occur- rence should be taken into consideration. The condition of the genital tract at the last parturition; whether the cow retained her placenta or not; whether the calf was healthy or not; the character of the uterine discharges following parturition; the character of estrum; the length of time the cow has been milking and the amount she gives; the nature of the diet provided and the management and care of the herd as a whole. Anyone handling sterility cases should give each detail due consideration and seek to correct or adjust obvious errors as well as applying specific treatment. 28 THE REPORT OE No. 29 SE\ERE CASE OF ECZEMA IN A HOLSTEIN COW By R. A. McIntosh, M.DA'., BA'.Sc. Eczema in cattle is not very common but on occasions cases are encountered. It is also very difficult to definitely determine causes for the condition. Eczemat- ous reactions occasionally result from dietetic errors and also in some instances from external applications of an irritating nature. Skin infections may also cause it. The following clinical report is an example of a case that would not respond to treatment. Clinic Xo. 357, April 21st, 1930. — The subject of this clinic was a four year old Holstein cow which had been milking for about six months and was kept along with a relatively large herd of dairy cows in clean sanitary quarters. They Note the skin in the region of the neck and around the angle of the jaw lying in folds were well fed. No other members of the herd developed the condition. They had been stabled since the latter part of September the previous fall. There had not been any marked change in the diet. She had conceived about two months prior to this examination. The herdsman noticed that she was some- what stiff in her movements, and that she was dropping ofif in her milk secretion. When examined the skin on both sides of her neck over the poll and around the ears was swollen, encrusted with scabs and exfoliated epithelium. The region of the escutcheon and the tail head were affected similarh". The skin in the affected region was lying in folds much the same as is seen in mange infested animals. Repeated scrapings and microscopic examinations, however, failed to reveal any parasites. Itchiness was manifest but not as marked as one would see in mange. The prescapular lymph glands were somewhat en- larged. Under the scale the skin was red, inflamed and would bleed easily. p THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 29 \ arit>us agents were used in an effort to cure the c(jndition but the response was very slow. By saturating the scale with olive oil it could be easily removed in twenty-four hours but it would only recur. As an external application lime .md sulphur dip was used. Also white lotion and other astringents. Her diet was niodilied and she was given arsenic, calcium, sulphur and iron intern illy. The condition persisted for at least a month. By that time pasturage was available and within a week or two after being turned out the condition dis- appeared. The fact that she recovered when allowed to graze and to be out in the open would indicate a disturbance in metabolism resulting from a lack of vitamins or a nutritional deficiency. Lead Poisoning in C\\ttlk Occasionally cases of lead poisoning occur due to cattle eating or licking paint or other material which may contain a sufficient amount of lead to produce toxic symptoms. X'eterinary literature on the subject describes the chronic forms of poisoning more clearly than it does the acute manifestations. During the past summer two cases came under the observation of the writer in which the opportunity to note the symptoms of the acute form was provided. While there was no analysis of the stomach contents made to definitely establish the consumption of lead, nevertheless the evidence gained was of such a nature that one could be reasonably sure that lead was responsible for the condition. The cases occurred while the animals were on pasture The field had produced a crop of hay and after the hay was cut and removed the fence posts were painted. The painters were quite liberal with their paint and at the bottom of every post considerable paint had been slopped around. In one corner of the fence where the painting operation had apparently concluded the remaining portion of the paint had been thrown out of the container on to the ground. It could be seen that portions of this paint thrown on the ground had been eaten. Furthermore, the cattle had eaten all of the long grass along the fence and around the posts, for there had been but little second-growth of the hay due to the drouth. The cattle had only been in the field about two weeks when the first case occurred. Clinic Xo. 464, August 25th, 1930. — This animal was an Aberdeen Angus heifer. She was noticed sick and an examination was requested. The symptoms were of a very acute character. There were extreme nervous manifestations. Her ears were constantly flappling. When on her feet she would swing in circles and when she was down tetany was evident, for the head was drawn back and the legs were held stiffly extended. Frequently she would grind her teeth and champ her jaws. Ropey saliva hung from the mouth, breathing was laboured, the mucous membranes highly injected, pupils of the eyes greatly dilated and her temperature elevated. Diarrhea was also manifested. Lobeline was administered to control tetany temporarily. The animal died an hour later. A few days later another one of these animals became sick. This one was a pregnant Hereford cow. The symptoms developed quite suddenly but not so acutely as in the former case. She showed great depression, staggering gait, grinding of her teeth, salivation and bloody diarrhea. At times extreme nervousness. The pupils of her eyes were greatly dilated and her temperature was slightly elevated. With a stomach tube magnesium sulphate, sodium hyposulphite and tannic acid dissolved in two gallons of warm w'ater were administered. She was then 30 THE REPORT OF No. 29 loaded on stone a boat and with a tractor drawn to the barn and placed in com- fortable quarters. Later in the day eserine was administered. The following day she appeared slightly improved. A pail of warm sodium bicarbonate solution was given with the stomach tube. Diffusible stimulants were also administered. The diarrheaic condition still persisted somewhat. She re- mained in the recumbent position most of the time. If forced to get up would stand with the legs braced, refusing to move. On the third day she died and a post-mortem examination was held. On opening the abdomen and examining the viscera the abomasum was found to be intensely inflamed. There was also some enteritis. The liver was light in colour and the gall bladder full. The rumen contents were quite liquid in character but the omasal contents were quite dry. )t, In all of the available literature on the subject of acute lead poisoning gastro-enteritis is mentioned. This was quite evident in these cases and also marked nervous manifestations. It was assumed that these cases were due to the consumption of the spilled paint for there were no poisonous weeds growing in the field or evidence of any other nature that would produce such a condition. The remainder of the cattle were removed from the field and no further trouble was encountered. im'\ <-..- m^r .; » .X , 7 JL ^^^^' 3 / (1) Submaxillary glands entirely caseous (2) Liver showing numerous caseous spots (3) Spleen showing caseous elevations TUBERCULOSIS IN SWINE The following report is of an outbreak of tuberculosis in a number of pigs in which it was evident that a very virulent infection was prevalent on the premises. Clinic No. 375, May 2nd, 1930. — This pig was of Yorkshire breeding, one of a lot that were being fed for market. All of the pigs were coughing and as soon as the cough commenced they would lose flesh rapidly, swellings were noticed in the region of the submaxillary glands, some of which broke and dis- charged pus. Two or three litters of dift'erent sizes were kept and all of them were more or less affected. The pig presented for examination was very much emaciated. The submaxillary glands were greatly enlarged and his appetite poor. At times paroxysms of coughing would occur. He was placed in an isolated pen for observation. A few days later the owner brought two other pigs, one of which was dead and the other in a dying condition. In the post-mortem examination extensive tubercular lesions were found in both the thoracic and abdominal viscera. Both visceral and body lymph glands were involved. Both animals were acute generalized cases. The first pig brought THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 31 in was also destroyed and a post-mortem examination made and it was found to be a generalized case as well. The infection on these premises must have been very prevalent and highly virulent for these animals were all under six months of age and all of them showed very extensive lesions. The owner was instructed to dispose of all of his pigs subject to inspection, to thoroughly disinfect the premises and to have his cattle tested for tuberculosis, for it was felt that the infection probably came through feeding the young pigs milk from infected cows. A subsequent report revealed that the entire herd of cows reacted with the exception of two or three of the younger ones and even these were considered suspicious. The accompany- ing illustration indicates the extent of the lesions. The extreme size of the submaxillary glands, the numerous caseous spots in the liver and the lesions on the spleen can be seen. Each submaxillary gland was entirely caseous and Microphotograph of the thyroid showing the acini of the gland filled with colloid material approximately three inches in diameter. Bacteriological differentiation j-e- vealed the tubercle bacillus of the bovine strain. FAULTY METABOLISM DUE TO COLLOID DEGENERATION OF THE THYROID GLAND Clinic No. 265, March 18th, 1930.— Th^ subject of this clinic was a Yorkshire sow aged ten months. She w^as one of a litter, the remaining members of which had done well and developed into thrifty normal pigs. This one, however, had never thrived after weaning regardless of being well fed and cared for. She never seemed satisfied with the ration provided. Latterly she was getting 32 THE REPORT OF No. 29 thinner and weaker. The owner requested a post-mortem examination to determine the nature of her condition. The carcass was very much emaciated. The abdominal viscera were anemic in their appearance. The intestines somewhat dilated, the liver firm and the kidneys pale. The thoracic viscera were apparently normal. All of the lymph glands appeared normal but pale. The thyroid gland was slightly enlarged and its cut surface appeared degenerated. Specimens from the liver, kidneys and the thyroid were taken for section and microscopic examination. When examined there was some evidence of cirrhosis of the liver and the kidneys. The thyroid was completely involved in a process of colloid degeneration. Knowing the important part which the thyroid plays in the presence of metabol- ism it was decided that the condition found in this gland was responsible for the emaciation and stunted growth of the sow. DEPARTMEXT OF EMBRYOLCGY AND HISIOLCGY The teaching of Embryology and Histology has been conducted '.n much the same manner as in previous years. Embryology is taught to first-year students, the subject being presented in the form of lectures illustrated by means of sections which are examined by microscope and drawn. The idea is to present a course which will be preparatory" to histology, genetics and obstetrics, as taught in the later three years of the College curriculum. The instruction in Histology covers practically all the mammalian tissues and organs, thus preparing the student for an understanding of physiology, biochemistry and pathology. Each step in histology is illustrated by means of sections of tissue prepared for microscopic examination, the student being required to make careful and accurate drawings directly from the microscope. The course of instruction in histology covers both first and second student \ears. DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY The methods used in the study of Zoology at the College have been revised and considerably extended, the object being to give the student a more com- prehensive knowledge of biology, especially in regard to the parasitic animals. A laboratory course in zoology is now presented to first-year students in which Invertebrate Zoology is being more thoroughh- described than was possible in previous years, and in which mounted specimens are examined by microscope. Dissections are also carried out. In the study of the protozoans living organisms are made use of when possible. Meat Ixspectiox The course which is delivered to students of the senior year consists of lectures and demonstrations and is conducted with a view of giving the graduate who enters general practice a comprehensive knowledge of the subject and at the same time preparing students for entry into the Federal service under the Health of Animals Branch. THK VETERINARY COLLRGH: FOR 1930 33 \ CON TACK )IS |)1SI:ASK OI" IX)(;S CAI SKI) BY A B I- POLAR ORGANISM H\ H. K. Batt, BA.Sc. During the fall and winier of 1929 30, and again in the fall ui 1930 a disease broke out in a number of kennels which, in the first instances, was believed to be canine distemper However, where a series of cases occurred in the same kennel, and where there was an opportunity , to observe the onset, course, and duration of the disease in a number of animals in several different establishments, it was noticed that the disease presented some striking differences from canine distemper, these being as follow: (1) Except in the acute form the disease ran a rapid and, in most instances, a more benign course than does distemper. (2) The onset is sudden, duration short and recovery rapid. (3) In many cases the cycle of the disease was complete in from seven to ten days. (4) No cases of typical distemper developed in a kennel during the epidemics. The discharges from the eyes were not profuse and when present were not so viscid as in dis- temper, neither vvas there much discharge from the nostrils. The discharge forms thin, whitish, dry crusts below the eyes and around the nose. Conjunctiv- itis is not marked, nor has ulceration of the cornea occurred in any of the cases observed. Age seems to be a predisposing factor, most of the cases occurring in dogs of from four to six months old. A few cases were observed in dogs from six months to one year old, but none after this age. In many instances the trouble began in a litter at teething age. The disease, in pups younger than six months, usually took the subacute or bronchial form and persisted in some instances for a month or more followed by gradual recovery. In older pups, about nine to ten months old, the acute form in w^hich coma is marked was the commonest. There appear to be three forms of the condition, viz.: the subacute or bron- chial form, the tetanic or nervous form, and the acute or toxic form. In many instances these three forms will occur in a kennel and remain distinct one from the other, one or more forms occurring among pups of the same age or litter. However, it sometimes happens that an individual will present symptoms of two forms. In all three forms there is an elevation of temperature, with accelerated breathing. In severe cases the temperature may reach 106° F. The animal is very thirsty and the appetite is, in the more severe cases, interfered with. Subacute or Bronchial Form. — This form of the disease is essentially a bronchitis and occurs mainly in pups about two months old. The condition comes on suddenly. In otherwise healthy pups one after another of the litter are affected and as a general rule the whole lot gradually develop the disease, although at times one or more will escape and show no symptoms of illness whatever. There are marked mucous rales together with fits of coughing, particularly after feeding or when roused from sleep. The cough is "loose" and "rattling." In many cases the appetite is not interfered with to any extent and the puppy seems to be in good spirits. In the more severe cases, however, appetite is poor and the animal does not grow as it should. Listlessness is present. The temperature is not elevated in the milder cases. This fo.^m of the disease may persist for weeks gradually subsiding as recovery takes place. Relapses may occur and in one or two instances the subacute form has de- veloped into a typical broncho-pneumonia, or into the acute form, but this rarely happens when proper attention is given. 34 THE REPORT OF No. 29 Post-mortem. There is a more or less severe bronchitis present, the bronchi containing mucous and sometimes pus. In mild cases (which were killed for post-mortem purposes) the lung substance is not involved to any extent, but in severe cases there is evidence of broncho-pneumonia. There is no evidence of any widespread infection and there is every reason to believe that most cases of this type will recover in the course of some weeks. The Tetanic or Nervous Form. This form appears suddenly. An otherwise healthy pup will suddenly develgp a difficulty in swallowing, together with or followed by a marked stiffness of the hind quarters. The animal moves with a stilty gait, the hocks cannot be flexed and the pup walks on the hind toes with legs slightly spread. After some hours the fore quarters become involved, the backbone becomes rigid and often tetanic spasms appear. The dog will lie on its side with nose between the fore paws, so that the picture presented is that of eclampsia or tetanus. The actions of the animal when attempting to eat or drink are very characteristic. There seems to be a more or less paralyzed condition of the muscles of deglutition and the masseter muscles are rigid. Because of the difficulty in standing the dog will often fall on his nose into the dish and if any food or water is taken into the mouth it will be ejected after an attempt at swallowing. Because of this the animal will sometimes go three or four days without food, although he will try to lap water. There is a slight discharge from the eyes, but little or none from the nose, which does not become very dry or hot. This discharge forms a whitish crust. No marked con- junctivitis is observed. This form of the disease is of short duration, in many cases recovery or death taking place within a week from onset. Post-mortem. Congestion of lungs is always present, but not always pro- nounced. There is usually pericarditis with petechial spots in heart muscle. The intestinal tract is not involved. The brain seems normal, although slight edema was observed in some cases. The Acute or Toxic Form. In this form symptoms of a pronounced toxemia together with coma predominate. The onset is sudden and the duration of the illness is often short, death occurring in some cases in as short a time as twenty-four hours. The animal is first noticed to be dull and refuses food, moves slowly and stiffly. The temperature is high, 104° to 106°, breathing is rapid. There is little or no discharge from the eyes or nose. Swallowing is difficult. There is no cough. The animal becomes comatose, showing pro- nounced symptoms of toxemia. The condition may persist for three or four days, when the animal either dies or recovers rapidly. In fatal cases death may occur quite suddenly as if from heart failure. Post-mortem. The lesions in this, the acute form, are mostly confined to the thoracic cavity. There is a very marked congestion of the lungs with hepatization of parts or whole lobes. The heart muscle is petechial. There is a very marked pericarditis with much effusion into the sac. The liver shows evidence of infection by congestion and petechial spots. The intestinal tract is not involved. Microscopical Report upon Lesion in Acute or Toxic Form Lungs. Sections from the lobes of the lung show acute congestion and oedema. Many of the alveoli contain a clear fluid exudate which increases in quantity from the base of the lobes towards the apices and borders in which THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 35 regions the spaces are almost entirely filled. The visceral pleura, perivascular and peribronchial tissues are oedematous and separated some distance from the adjoining parenchymatous structures. Cellular infiltration and haemorrhage are almost entirely absent. The respiratory passages are normal with a few exceptions where the terminal bronchioles are occluded with exudiate alone or together with small masses of detached epithelial cells from the mucous mem- branes. Lymph Glands. Show great oedema throughout and congestion of vessels. Thymus Gland. The oedema in this organ is so extensive that the lobules are separated from one another by a distance approximately equal to their own width. All blood vessels are congested and in some cases have ruptured with the resultant formation of petechial haemorrhages throughout the gland. Spleen. All vessels are markedly congested. Liver. Passive congestion is extensive. Over large areas the blood has laked leaving only the skeleton outlines of the erythrocytes and freed blood pigment in the surrounding tissues. The laking, however, has not occurred in regions immediately below the capsule of the organ. In extensive areas the cords have been much distorted or broken up by the great congestion and pressure from haemorrhage in the sinusoids and interlobular tissues. Albuminous degeneration is commencing over large areas but the abnormalities are confined to the cellular cytoplasm, few nuclei only show pyonotic changes. Kidney. The changes in this organ are slight congestion throughout and albuminous degeneration chiefly confined to the epithelium of the convoluted tubules. Heart. The intermyocardiac capillaries are congested and stand out con- spicuously. In numerous places they have ruptured and produced petechial haemorrhages. The muscle cells show the early indications of albuminous degeneration. Bacteriology The following investigations were carried out in an endeavour to discover the organism producing this disease in dogs. Material from heart, lungs, liver, and spleen was plated on agar. The organs from dogs showing one or more typical symptoms were used. January 16th. Plates from lung, heart, liver and thyroid were made. January 17th. No organisms on heart, liver or thyroid plates. The plates from lung showed numerous fine colonies of Gram negative bi-polar rods. These were transferred to slants, sugars and milk. January 21st. Reactions in the different media is typical of B. bronchi- septicus. Sent for known cultures for comparison. January 30th. Compared both suspected and known organism as to sugar reactions. Reactions in litmus milk, culture and potato growth and came to the conclusion that the suspected organism was B. bronchisepticus. January 30th. Cultures were made from the lung of a pup suffering from the bronchial type of the disease. An organism identical with B. bronchisepticus was recovered. 36 THE REPORT OF No. 29 February 17th. Lungs and hearts from three dogs sufferuig from this disease were examined and plates made. B. bronchisepticus recovered. January 23rd. Twenty c.c. of a heavy saUne suspension (living] of B. bronchisepticus from the case of January 21st were injected intraperitoneally in each of two dogs. These dogs were about five months old, w^ere farm raised and were said not to have had distemper. These animals were under obser\ation for a month but no disturbance was noticed. At the same time 1 c.c. was injected into the peritoneal cavity of a rabbit and 1 c.c. in the cavity of a guinea pig. The rabbit remained healthy. The guinea pig was noticed to be sick about ten days after injection but lived until February 24th when it died. A necrotic area w^as found at seat of injection. Slight peritonitis was also present. The lungs were pneumonic and material from the lung was plated on agar and B. bronchisepticus recovered. Morphology and Staining of Organism. In smears made direct from the diseased tissue the organisms appear as discrete, short, slender rods, frequently showing bi-polar staining. Smears made from cultures show marked variation in the size of the organism, from coccus-like forms to bacilli of several microns in length. The axis of the organism is straight, the ends are usually rounded and the sides slightly convex. The organism is Gram negative, and stains poorly with methylene blue. Dilute carbol-fuchsin gives good results. The organism is motile. Cultural Reactions. The organism grows readily on all culture media. The growth resembles that of the Pasteurella but is more abundant. There is no fermentation in dextrose, mannite, saccharose, and lactose. The growth on potato is characteristic, forming a moist, tan-brown, glistening layer upon the surface. DEPARTMENT OF PARASITOLOGY The activities of this department consist of teaching, laboratory routine and research work. As numerous advances are being made in the field of parasitology certain modifications have been introduced in the methods of teaching this subject. Descriptions of the more important newly reported species of parasites have been added to the course. More emphasis is being placed upon systematic work and the laboratory study of parasites. Lectures are also included upon immunological work which is now receiving the attention of investigators in different parts of the world, \arious charts have been obtained during the year which greatly facilitate the teaching of entomology and protozoology. Lectures are further supplemented b>' demonstrating life cycles with living material, by anti- and post-mortem examinations, and with microscopical and gross preparations. During the year numerous entomological and helminthological specimens have been collected and mounted. We also owe our thanks to Professor E. M. Walker of the I'niversity of Toronto, Dr. Seymour Hadwen of the Ontario Research Foundation, Dr. Ronald Law of the Ontario Experimental Fur Farm, and to Dr. Clay G. Huff of the University of Chicago for a considerable number of valuable and in some in- stances rare specimens which they have generously donated to the department. THH X'KTKRINARY COLLFX.E FOR 1930 37 I ncler the lieadinji of teaching, assistance is also rendered to the Depart- ments of Patholog\-, Histolt)g\' and Zoology. At the beginning of the fall session a course of lectures upon fur-bearing animals was commenced. The aim of this instruction is to give students an elementar\" knowledge of fur-farming methods in general and more particularly regarding the husl)andr\' of the animals and the diagnosis, course and treatment of their diseases. Meth- their owner at different ranches. In both cases the rations were prepared from the same source with the exception that one group received the addition of a small quantity of potassium iodide solution two or three times weekh-. The other group b\' an oversight received none at all. During the pelting season several carcasses from both groups were forwarded to the College with a request to report upon their general condition; the animals had, however, appeared healthy and their pelts were of average quality. In the course of the autopsies it was observed that the thyroid glands of the five indi^'iduals from the latter group were greatly enlarged, and those of the ffjrmer apparenth- normal in all respects. THK VETERINARY COLLEGK FOR 1930 41 Gross Kxainindlion of Thyroid Glands. Anion^ those foxes which receixed the potassium iodide solution the average weight of the individual thyroid lobes was 0.75 grams. Four out t)f the fi\e from the other unit were females. In each case the lobes were conspicuous by their size; their axerage weight was 3.25 grams; they were uniformly enlarged and not marked by any lol)ular elevations. The fifth carcass was that of a male in which case the right and left lobes weighed respectively 27 and 29 grams and had assumed the size and form of a pigeon's egg. All the animals in question were under one year of age. Microscopical Examination. Section of the glands of normal weight and size revealed the usual histological picture of healthy thyroid tissue. Micro- scopical preparations of the enlarged lobes showed a uniform h\perplasia of the glandular acini with, howe\er, slight decrease in diameter compared to that of normal acini. Colloid material, particularly in the enlarged gland of the male, was almost entirely absent. Remarks. As indicated in the above history this is not the record of an experiment, but at the same time it would appear advisable to add iodized salt or potassium iodide solutions to the rations of fur-bearing animals in localities where cattle, pigs and other beasts suffer from impaired thyroid metabolism. Apart from the above cases it has been observed that the thyroids of Ontario foxes are frequently much larger than are those of foxes ranched in the other proN'inces where sufficient quantities of iodine are apparently supplied to all forms of life through natural agencies. THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF PARASITISM IN FOX RANCHES An Address delivered before the Ontario Silver Fox Breeders' Association By A. A. KixGSCOTE, B.V.Sc. There are two ways in which an army may approach an enemy; one is to advance blindly into the latter's territory, indulge in insignificant skirmishes here and there and then retreat. The more effective procedure on the part of the aggressors is to send out their spies and ascertain how, when and where their opponents may be attacked to the greatest advantage. This is also true in combating the internal and external parasites which at any time may under- mine the health, lower the production and reduce the pelt value of animals. The purpose of this paper is to suggest ways in which a breeder of fur-bearing animals may lay out — not a haphazard — but a well organized campaign on his ranch to control the menace of parasitism. How Parasites Become Established ix a Ranch To tight parasites intelligently we must know something of their more important habits. The first encouraging fact is that the>- do not come into existence spontaneously. Thus, when present, they have been brought in with the foundation stock, or unconsciously by some insect, bird or human being who has picked up eggs or larvae at a ranch or some wild creature's haunts where parasites abound. Once established they continue to increase until their presence can no longer be concealed. In this connection Nature has endowed certain of her creations with remarkable powers of proliferation : for 42 THE REPORT OF ^ No. 29 example, the vast number of seeds upon a single head of timothy grass; such numbers as these may be compared to the eggs in a single female worm. New generations of parasites occur at short intervals with the result that the number of individuals soon commence to increase in geometric proportions. It has been observed that one pair of range mites may become the grandparents of 1,500,000 descendants in about three months. These statements must not unduly alarm us; they merely emphasize the danger of neglect and inefficient methods of extermination. The eggs of worms are not only eliminated by the bowels, but also with urine, and discharges from the nostrils. Those of the external parasites are shaken from the body to accumulate in large numbers upon the ground. There are many ways in which eggs and larvae may be transferred from one area to another. Men going from pen to pen step upon infected debris and disseminate such material about the ranch. Shovels used in cleaning the pens become heavily laden with eggs which are later rubbed off by the mere process of scraping up more dirt in adjoining enclosures. Actual experiments have proved how flies are capable of carrying eggs from one location to another. Other great reservoirs of eggs exist in the bodies of worms expelled after pilling. When these are not gathered up, birds, earthworms, insects and other agents are capable of distributing the unharmed ova in large numbers about the ranch. It thus becomes every rancher to be keen and observant, to locate for himself the danger sources in his own ranch — he must be a proverbial Sherlock Holmes. Development and Infestation In a few days or weeks young parasites develop in those eggs which fall into a favourable environment. Roundworms are unable to escape from their thick-shelled prisons until they are ingested by a suitable host. Some of these may be swallowed by the pups the first time they nurse. Other animals become infested by food carelessly thrown upon ground rich in embryonated eggs. Hookworms and fleas hatch out and feed upon organic matter about the pen. The former enter the bodies of their victims by penetrating the skin; the latter spend a period in a cocoon from which they finally emerge as perfect fleas. Many parasites in this early stage are capable of hibernating for months and years. In such a state they are extremely resistant to the elements and dis- infectants. Vast numbers may be buried by various agents in the ground, and later again reach the surface. Many of the young worms which have entered the body pass through the tissues, like so many little needles, until they reach a large blood vessel running towards the heart. From this organ they are pumped into the lungs. Here the lungworms remain, but hook and roundworms continue up the windpipe and down the gullet to complete their development in the digestive tract. Even a few may cause a great deal of damage because all the internal organs of the body are lined with protective barricades of cells, which if broken down by worms may permit disease-pro- ducing bacteria to enter and destroy much tissue or even kill the animal. The internal parasites rob the animal they infest of its food, suck its blood, produce poisons and generally lower their natural resistance against disease. Fleas may produce anemia if present in sufficient numbers and are able to travel considerable distances, and so may be a source of danger in transmitting con- tagious diseases. The Attack Upon Eggs and Larvae As large numbers of eggs and larvae are present in the faeces — but we must recall not all — it stands to reason that with every particle of filth removed from THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 43 a pen perhaps myriads of potential parasites are carried out at the same time. This, however, leaves many more to be accounted for — those that have been buried by the animals scratching and burrowing and others which have been washed down into porous soil by rain. Incidentally with the removal of filth the fly menace is automaticalK' lessened. Grass and weeds afford shelter and moisture which are an ideal condition for the development of eggs and for this reason infested pens are better bare. Periodical removal of the top soil results in ccnuitless numbers of eggs being transferred with it. The material removed from the pens should not be piled in the open for insects to breed in and later return contaminated to the pens. The best procedure is to keep this covered, buried, saturated with insect repellants or heavily coated with lime. Now a word regarding the hordes of larvae feeding upon organic matter. The saturation of the filth they live in with substances that make it inedible or untenable will play its part in accounting for another group. Five per cent, solutions of coal tar products liberally used from time to time will serve this purpose. These will also destroy the larvae and eggs they directly contact, and at the same time thoroughly disinfect the pens and act as fly or other insect repellants. The fire torch has its uses and its limitations. For surface work it destroys all living material which the flame directly contacts for a reasonable time. Below a very shallow layer, the depth varying with the nature of the soil, it has no effect. Its maximum value is upon board or other impervious floors. The installation of well constructed board floors is one of the most satis- factory methods of simplifying control measures. All the early stages of para- sites are concentrated upon their surface readily exposing them to the un- favourable effects of sunshine, dryness and the action of artificial destructive agents. They save much labour and material compared to that which would be involved in cleaning and treating an equal area of soil. If such floors are built with a proper slope, rain will automatically wash off a number of eggs. They should be built a sufficient height above the underlying ground to prevent migratory larvae from reaching their surface, at the same time allowing air and light to enter below, otherwise conditions become unsanitary owing to the presence of molds, decaying vegetation and other organic matter. If cracks are present it must be borne in mind that the flame from a torch is not always sufficient to destroy bodies protected by the accumulated debris. Another important point to realize is that neglected board floors where filth is abundant defeat their own purpose and become a greater source of danger than soil. The care of earth pens, rank with vegetation, where parasitic infestation has existed for years is another problem. To remove and destroy all eggs is on a parallel to attempting to gather up all the grains after they have been sown in a large field. Here another stratagem must be resorted to, namely, instead of destroying the parasites to change our tactics and escape from them. This may be accomplished by the installation of board floors, or removal of the ranch or pens to new ground. Such a procedure may be a considerable under- taking— yet the time and expense will be well worth it in the long run. Thorough sanitation must be observed in the new pens to avoid recurrences of infestation. The Attack upon Adult Parasites Everyone who has had experience with parasitic diseases of the fox will have observed that their manifestations become more severe in general as the summer advances. Hookworms, lungworms, ear mites and fleas are many times more abundant than they were in the spring. This is because winter 44 THE REPORT OF No. 29 conditions have markedly reduced their numbers. Thus early in June there are comparatively few, and it is obviously an advantageous time to attack them. There is a saying that one fly killed in the fall means a million less the following summer, which is fundamentally true. The same principle applies to parasites destroyed early in the season. Unfortunately this is a busy time about the ranch. Pilling adults and treatments for fleas and ear mites are postponed until infection becomes manifest — that is after generations have become estab- lished. A day's work early in the season is of far more value in an eradication campaign than several days late in summer. The first treatment for both external and internal parasites should be followed by a second or third treatment at fortnighth' intervals, and from then on as existing conditions justif\-. Many parasiticides only destroy the adults — • the eggs escaping their action. The object is to attack the individuals that emerge from such eggs before they reach sexual maturity. In this way in- festation may be constantly nipped in the bud. The common vermicides only remove worms from the intestines; the moment their action is completed new contingents of migrating larvae may arrive from the lungs. Hence again the necessity of repeating the treatment before they reach maturity. To gain the greatest advantage, as soon as the animals are treated an attack should be launched against the larvae. The passing of every day that this is neglected results in loss of ground gained by the pilling. After the worms are eliminated from the body the main object is to prevent reinfestation. In regard to the actual drugs used it will suffice to say here that in the long run it is economy to purchase the best. Impure drugs may serve their intended purpose, but at the same time be extremely harmful to the animal they are administered to. Fresh material should always be on hand as many substances deteriorate with age or upon exposure to light and heat. Directions for use of all parasiticides should be carefully read and followed out. Only too often the instructions regarding fasting are ignored with the result that both the drug and time involved in its administration is wasted. The labels on certain flea powder packages state that the contents only stun, and that the fleas must be combed out, gathered up and burnt. In spite of this man\" ranchers spend days dusting their animals and letting them go. A moment's consideration will show the futility of such methods. These powders are prone to deteriorate with age. In any case it is well to test their efficiency by the simple procedure of dusting a few insects in a covered receptacle. The eff^ect may be observed as to whether they die or survive after the lapse of several hours. Thus we may be governed accordingly as to the value of the drug on hand. Methods of Protectinx. Pups from Ixfestatiox When the winter frosts set in little infestation takes place. With the realization of this fact we may co-operate with nature by making preparations to ensure that the pups of an expected generation will arrive in a kennel as free from infective material as possible. This may be accomplished by pilling the female, well on in the winter. If this is neglected vixen harbouring only one or two round worms may pass innumerable eggs into the den. One of the surest practices to protect the pups is that of keeping a thoroughly disinfected breeding kennel closed the year round until several days before whelping. At seven weeks the pups should be weaned and ensured clean pens. If the pens in which they are born are heavily infested, it is well worth while removing the pups in groups of three or four to small movable pens, which ma\- be shifted THK VETKRINARV COLLHGK FOR 1930 45 to new i^roiiiul (t((a>i(jiuill\' duiiiiK tlit' siiiiiiner. It is better to sacritice space in this \va>' than to suffer from parasites. Conclusion' In suniniarizin^ it is ol)\i(nis that there are no short cuts t(j controlling parasitism in a ranch; no one simple procedure will perform the task. It is a persistence of all possible methods of attack which produce results. Our goal .should be to have a ranch free from parasites, but we shall do well to have them constantly in control; our endeavour must be to keep infestation down from the beginning, not to wait until the manifestations of disease force us into activitN'. Drugs have an important place, but after all is said and done, the most effecti\e weapon is the practice of sanitation which prevents infestation. THE DEPARTMENTS OF PATHOLOGY AND BACTEROLOGY The work carried on in these departments may be conveniently considered under the following headings: tutorial, routine, research, and investigatory. Tutorial — In both lectures and laboratory work the fundamental facts of the sciences being studied by the student are, as far as possible, presented in a manner which makes them something more than data to be memorized and stored in isolation until the day of examination and then forgotten. The methods employed in teaching have as their objective the awakening and development of the mind, more than the memory, and the unification and synthesis of the knowledge acquired rather than the unprofitable accumulation of isolated facts. Many new and interesting specimens have been added to the museum, which are proving to be of great value in the teaching of pathology. A museum containing specimens representative of the more important diseases is a sine qua non in the teaching of pathology. Routine — The routine work of the laboratory consists chiefly in the diag- nosis of diseased tissues, the making of post-mortem examinations, the examina- tion of fox feces for the eggs of parasites, and the preparation of the abortion bacterin and vaccine. The services of a technician are sorely needed in order that the routine work ma\" become what it should be, an important branch of the research work of the department. Research — Experiments are being conducted to determine the most satis- factory method of administering iron to suckling pigs for the prevention of nutritional anaemia. Further, and more extensive experiments are being undertaken with alsike clover and equisetum as to the possible relationship of these plants to endemic cirrhosis of the liver of the horse. Investigatory — Reports on the investigations made into a disease of horses occurring in the Cochrane district which proved to be Infectious Anemia (swamp fever) ; and into endemic cirrhosis of the liver of the horse as it occurs in Temis- kaming are included in this report. 46 THE REPORT OF No. 29 REPORT ON INVESTIGATION MADE INTO A FATAL DISEASE OF HORSES OCCURRING IN THE DISTRICT OF NORTH TEMISKAMING By F. \V. Schofield, DA'.Sc. Acting on instructions from the Principal, I proceeded to the town of Coch- rane in Northern Ontario from which place an urgent request had been received asking for an investigation into a disease which was causing serious mortality among the horses of the district. Three days were spent in the affected territory during which time many horses were examined and a thorough enquiry made into the nature and occurrence of the outbreak. I am greatly indebted to Air. Pomerleau, the local agricultural representative, and Mr. Goode, the presi- dent of the Brower Farmers Association for the generous way in which they assisted in the investigation. Some Important Local Conditions which Influence the Disease under Con- sideration. The district surrounding the town of Cochrane, where the disease seems to be most prevalent, is a newly settled one, having been opened up for farming during the last fifteen or twenty years. The following three facts seem to the writer to be of definite significance in any consideration of this disease. First, that only a few of the settlers are farmers in the strict sense of the word. Alost of them are engaged in lumbering and road building as well as agriculture. For such services they receive an immediate and definite cash payment, while from their farming operations the financial return is uncertain. This results in large numbers of the horses of the district being gathered together in con- struction or lumber camps. Here, not only are the horses worked very hard but due to frequently improper sanitation and poor management, the conditions are ideal for the spread of any communicable disease. Second, the average settler is poor and therefore unable to build and equip a modern sanitary stable. For the same economic reason the animals are frequently unduly restricted in the grain ration, while hay, which is usually heavy in alsike, is fed in large quantities. In other words the care and management of the horses is frequently far from satisfactory. Everyone seemed to agree that it was a very hard country on horses. This is evidenced by the large number of horses shipped into the district every year to make up for the heavy losses. Third, the farm land is almost entirely heavy clay, which in the absence of any system of drainage results in the frequent and often continued collection of surface water in the lower areas. On many farms such surface water, or water which has drained into the numerous creeks, is the only source of supply for the horses when out on pasture. These are serious facts when the disease in question is one which is chiefly spread by contaminated food and water and can only be controlled by careful sanitation. There is also a possibility that the disease may be spread by biting flies (Tabanids) which abound during the summer months. The Economic Significance of the Disease. During the last few years the losses from this disease have steadily increased and while no definite statistics are available an average loss of one horse per settler per year would not be an over statement of the mortality for the last two or three years. This is a financial loss which simply cannot be borne by these people with their very limited re- sources in these critical years of pioneer life. It must be remembered that there is no easy way of escape from this disease when once it has become endemic in an agricultural community. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 47 History of the Disease. The information gathered with regard to the entrance and spread of this disease in the district was somewhat scant and contradictory. It is possible that a few cases of the disease occurred soon after the settlement of the country some twenty years ago. The question of correct diagnosis natur- all>' throws doubt upon the authenticity of these early cases. There is general agreement that during the last five years the disease has become increasingly prevalent. It is most probable that the disease was introduced by the im- portation of Western horses, as the disease has been endemic for many years in certain parts of the Canadian West. Its rapid spread can easily be accounted for by the frequent mobilization of these horses in lumber and construction camps. Statements were made telling of serious outbreaks having occurred among the horses in these encampments. In one small stable where three teams were kept for a period of six weeks during the past winter two horses have already developed the disease, while the whereabouts of one team is at present unknown. A serious feature of the disease from the standpoint of epidemiology is the frequency with which the disease assumes the chronic form and the prevalence of "carriers" among the so-called cured cases. A horse suffering from the chronic form of the disease will usually respond favourably to care and good feeding so that it can later be sold as an apparently healthy horse. There is no doubt that this is done and in part accounts for the dis- semination of the disease. Description of the Disease. This brief account of the disease is compiled largely from statements made by the settlers, and not from continued personal observation of the cases, which under the circumstances of the visit was quite impossible. It is of interest to note that there was almost complete agreement in the description of the disease, although narrated by many observers. The disease may occur in either an acute or chronic form. It is characterized by fever, dullness, rapid loss of flesh, staggering gait, paleness of mucous mem- branes, slight anorexia, rarely any evidence of pain, and with high mortality. The Acute Form. This is ushered in by depression, fever, muscular weakness, which is very evident in the staggering gait, especially related to the hind limbs. There is a tendency to stumble, and knuckling at the fetlock is common. Mr. Gangon. a licensed practitioner who has seen many cases states that the tempera- ture may rise to 106-107° F. In such acute cases there is usually anorexia, and death occurs in from three to five days. The Chronic Form. This is by far the most frequent form of the disease and is characterized by intermittent periods of well being, w^hen the animal appears to have entirely recovered from the infection. The first symptoms are those of weakness and wasting, with loss of spirit. The temperature is elevated 101-103° F. As the disease progresses the mucous membranes of the eye and lips become pale. Stocking in the legs is frequent. A swaying or staggering gait is seen in most cases. The appetite usually remains good; sometimes even ravenous. After several weeks of sickness a marked improvement in condition frequently takes place. This is but temporary, relapses almost always follow and with each relapse the animal becomes weaker and more emaciated, finally dying in an anaemic and exhausted condition months or even years after the first symptoms appeared. Permanent recoveries were reported, but they are very rare. The marked improvement in condition which may occur between attacks gives the owner an opportunity to trade or sell the animal which is unquestionably a serious factor in the spread of the disease. 48 THE REPORT OF No. 29 History of a Typical Case. A thirteen year old horse bought on April 1st, 1930, and had come into the district from Montreal in June, 1929. Between June, 1929, and April 1st, 1930, this horse had changed hands three times. The animal was somewhat emaciated at time of purchase. After two months of careful feeding the horse was in good condition and ready for work. When stabled the water supplied was from a spring creek, but surface water was available when out in the pasture. The horse being in good condition was worked hard during June and July without any ill effect. August was a slack month with little work for the team. The first evidence of sickness was on September 1st, the animal being drowsy, clumsy in his movements and within a few days there was a marked falling off in condition. The appetite remained much the same. All work was discontinued and the animal carefully fed and nursed. By the end of September there was great improvement, the animal appearing to be perfectly well, in good flesh and spirit. Early in October the symptoms returned in a more aggravated form. Clinical examination on October 15th revealed the following condition. Marked depression or drowsiness, palor of mucous membranes, slight "stocking" in hind limbs, unsteady gait, general appearance of unthriftiness. The temperature registered 101 3/5. The ery- throcyte count was 2 millions and the leucocyte count 16,000. Hemoglobin 25^. Blood serum gave slight yet definite precipitation with HgCh 1 — 30,000. The team mate showed symptoms of the same disease on October 12th. A Table Compiled from Data Derived from Examination of Nineteen Horses. During the visit two clinics were held, one at Brower on October 15th and one at Dunning on the following day. Of the horses brought to the clinics for examination, some were obviously suffering from disease, others were suspects, while others were apparently normal.

In every case except one (Pat) clinical evidence of disease was accompanied by a rise in temperature of from 1-3° F. In the case of "Gray" the presence of a temperature was the first indication of disease. Leucocytosis. Almost all cases show a marked increase in leucocytes, which is in agreement with the conception of the disease as being a general infection. Anemia. In most cases anemia with marked reduction in the erythrocytic count is present. Transmissihility. The disease is apparently not readily communicable from the diseased to the healthy animal. The Precipitation Test with HCgl2. The test was carried out in the way described by Fulton in a recent article. (See A.V.M.A., Vol. 77, pages 58-61.) The regularity with which the sera from clinically sick horses gave a positive reaction, while sera from the normal controls were negative, would indicate that the test is of diagnostic value. As already pointed out by Fulton further work is necessary to ascertain its limitations and possibilities in the diagnosis of Swamp Fever, as well as its specificity in regard to other diseases. The Origin of the Infection. Those settlers who believe the disease to be "swamp fever" state emphatically that the disease has been introduced into the country by horses coming from the western provinces. Thus quite a little feeling has been aroused against the continued importation of western horses. While in all probability the disease originally came from the West by the acci- dental importation of infected horses, the endemic, which at the present time is causing such serious losses, is due to local and not far distant sources of in- fection. In other words, the disease has been transplanted into a new and highly favourable environment for its unchecked development. While all possible protection from infected western horses should be given to these dis- tressed settlers, yet the most serious and immediate need is that of checking the further spread of the disease from the many local sources of infection. Conclusions and Recommendations. (1) That a disease of horses exists in the agricultural district surrounding the town of Cochrane, which would appear to be identical with the disease known as "swamp fever." (2) That the local conditions of poor sanitation in conjunction with the unusual facilities for contact between diseased and healthy animals afiforded in the lumber and construction camps makes for rapidity of spread and unusually difificult in eradication. (3) That the economic loss caused by the disease is very serious in a com- munity of settlers whose financial resources are limited. (4) That a veterinary surgeon be appointed to the district for a stated period of time. His duties to be educational and investigatory; making known the values of sanitation and hygiene, and devising new methods for the control and eradication of the disease. Further work on cirrhosis of the liver could also be undertaken. (5) The unpopular suggestion is again made, that oxen be substituted for horses where limited finances makes satisfactory sanitation impossible. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 M A REPORT ON ENDEMIC CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER (EQUINE) OCCURRING IN THE TINHSKAMING DISTRICT OF NORTHERN ONTARIO Bv F. \V. SCHOFIELD, D.V.Sc. Following instructions from the Deputy Minister of Agriculture a visit was made to New Liskeard during the latter part of August, for the purpose of making further enquiry into the disease of horses known locally as "big liver" and "alsike poisoning." A previous report has been made on this disease, and is recorded in the Annual Report of the Ontario Veterinary College for the year 1028. The reader is referred to this report for much detailed information, especially as to the symptoms of the disease and the current theories as to its causation. The Purpose of the Present hivestigation. This was definitely limited in its scope, little attention being given to the clinical aspects of the disease, the one purpose being to discover and correlate facts of etiological significance. Opinions as to the cause and nature of this disease are numerous, and held tenaciously by their sponsors, but all are equally valueless until put to the critical test of carefully controlled experiments. Much information was collected, and con- sidered in its possible relationship to the disease, so that the experimental work which must follow, might be well planned, and prove to be of significance in detecting the ultimate cause of the disease. A careful enquiry was made into the history of each case, especially in its relationship to (1) the food supplied; (2) method of feeding; (3) method of farming; (4) nature of the soil; (5) climatic conditions prevailing, previous to, and during the course of the disease. A careful search of pasture land and hay field was made for the presence of poisonous plants. Statement of the Problems Involved in the Investigation. In investigating the disease one quickly realizes that there are at least two questions which must be definitely answered. First, May alsike clover under certain conditions of growth or feeding become harmful for horses? Second, What is the cause of "liver disease" (hypertrophic cirrhosis). These two questions are intimately related because of a very widespread belief that alsike clover may be responsible for the diseased condition of the liver which occurs with such frequency in the district. The first question, as to the toxic or harmless nature of alsike clover could be answered without much difficulty by a series of careful feeding experi- ments. Such experiments ought to be undertaken as soon as possible, as the plant grows with such unusual vigor as to constitute the most important part of many pasture lands and meadows. If it may, under certain conditions, be harmful, immediate measures must be taken for its control, whereas if the plant is quite harmless the farmers will be relieved of much anxiety and also be possessed of a valuable food plant. The question as to the cause of the disease in horses may be one most difficult to answer, requiring long continued and various feeding experiments. The present investigation has brought some encouragement in the discovery of a toxic plant (Equisetum) being frequently present in the pasture and hay. While it is not known to cause cirrhosis of the liver, undoubtedly it has the power to cause most of the other symptoms which are characteristic of the disease. Proposed feeding experiments directed to answer both of these questions are outlined at the close of this report. Brief Statement as to the Nature of the Disease. As the disease has already been fully described in another report the most characteristic features alone 52 ^ THE REPORT OF No. 29 will be given. The only animal attacked is the horse, no cases having been observed in cattle or sheep. The disease is manifested by progressive weakness and loss of condition, which is almost always accompanied by marked jaundice. Cerebral symptoms with inco-ordination of movement are very common. Most cases terminate fatally. The most striking and constant lesion found on post- mortem is a tremendously enlarged liver — true hypertrophic cirrhosis. This organ, instead of weighing from 12 to 15 pounds, frequently weighs as much as 50 to 60 pounds. The disease occurs in both an acute and chronic form, and is most probably due to the effect of continued low grade toxic irritation. There is evidence to show that the disease has been occurring at intervals ever since the country was opened up for farming some forty years ago. It is a serious disease, causing heavy losses to these frontier farmers who are quite helpless to protect themselves against financial loss which they can ill afTord to suffer. A Summary of the Findings in an Etiological Study of Sixteen Cases of Cirrhosis Fifteen farms were visited. On ten of these the disease had occurred within recent years, while the remaining five farms had always been free from the disease. First of all we will deal with those factors which would seem to contribute to the development of the disease on the ten farms where animals have been affected. Later, a comparison will be made with the five farms which have so far escaped the disease. First. In every case of the disease investigated the plant Equisetum (horsetail) could be readily found in the pasture or hay fields to which the horses had access. In eight of the sixteen cases the owners admitted that horsetail had been unusually prevalent in the hay being fed at the time when the disease developed. Second. In the majority^ — twelve of the sixteen cases — the first symptoms of the disease were noticed during mid-winter or early spring. That is, after several months of stall feeding. If the oats and the water can be eliminated as having no casual relationship to the disease, the dangerous element would appear to be present in the hay. The quantity of oats consumed in the winter is very much less, usually one-quarter the amount fed during the spring and fall W'hile the consumption of hay is frequently increased by one-half. This again rather definitely points to the hay as the source of the trouble and at the same time removes any suspicion attached to the oats. Third. In seven of the sixteen cases excessive quantities of hay had been fed. It is important to remember that an animal cannot protect itself from poisonous plants when these are dried and mixed in the hay, as when they are growing in the pasture. Fourth. That in six of the sixteen cases the quantity of alsike in the hay fed was estimated as below 20*^^. Fifth. That while alsike was present in the ha>' in every case. \"et several farmers stated that they had on certain occasions fed alsike in much larger cjuantities and throughout a whole winter without experiencing any trouble. Sixth. That outbreaks of the disease usually follow wet seasons and that wet seasons are most favourable to the growth of equisetum. THE VKTKRINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 53 Seventh. 'I'liat one jicnuine case of the disease was discovered in an animal which had been stable fed, never having been out on pasture. In another case, the horse, a four-\ear-ol(l, had been on pasture for onI\' two months rluring the four years. Eighth. That no known poisonous phmt, other than ec|uisetum, wa> tound after a careful scrutin\- o\er large areas and on many farms. Ninth. That the cHnical history of the disease and post-mortem findings would indicate a disease of slow development, the result of long continued toxic irritation. Before passing on to a discussion of these findings the histor\- of a most interesting case already mentioned in clause seven will be recorded. We have here an authentic case developing in an animal which had never grazed on pasture land, but had been stabled in the town of New Liskeard e\er since arriving in the district. If the disease in question is due to a poisonous plant, a tremendous area of potential danger and difficult investigation is ruled out by the elimination of the extensive pasture land common to all farms in this area and known as the "slash." This is land which has been burnt (ner by the forest fires, and is now covered with a great variety of vegetation. History of Case — "Maude." This mare was purchased by a local farmer on December 2nd, 1927, within a few days of her arrival from the town of Ren- frew, Ontario. She was continuously stabled in the town of New Liskeard, and used as a dray-horse. The feed consisted of hay and oats which were brought in as required by the owner, who has a farm within a few miles of the town. The first symptoms of disease were noticed in August, 1928, when the condition was diagnosed as "cirrhosis of the liver." The animal died in December, 1928. During the last two months practically all grain was refused but hay was eaten with apparent relish. Post-mortem revealed the typical large liver. Of added interest is the fact that a team of horses bought a few months before the purchase of "Maude," i.e., in the summer of 1927. also de- veloped the disease, which terminated fatally in both cases. The team had been kept on the farm most of the time, the grain and hay fed being the same as that supplied to "Maude." The team had free access to pasture. The history of these cases is most interesting and significant, the evidence pointing almost conclusively to the hay as the source of the trouble. The owner of these horses stated that the ha}' contained quite a little "horsetail" and that in the feeding of hay he had been most liberal. The alsike content of the hay was estimated at not more than 20%. Conditions which are Unfavourable to the Development of the Disease. Five farms were visited where the disease had never occurred. Three of the five were located on the "limestone ridge," w^hich is an elevated tract of land com- posed largely of limestone and running for several miles in a north-westerly direction from Dawson's Point, which lies a little east of New Liskeard on Lake Timiskaming. It was generally admitted that few cases of the disease had been known to occur on "the ridge." Both, methods of farming and crops grown, are practically the same as lower down in the clay flats, the only obvious differences being the high percentage of lime in the soil and the excellent natural drainage. It is claimed that alsike clover grows as well on "the ridge" as on the flats, but the growth in the valley is more luxurious. The number of tons of hay per acre is the same on the high land as the low land, but the low land 54 THE REPORT OF No. 29 growth is more bulky. The only fact of real significance observed was, that due to the better drainage the plant equisetum was quite scarce on "the ridge," as compared with its abundant growth on the flats. On the remaining two farms the absence of the disease is not easily explained. Equisetum could be found with ease in any of the fields and must at times have been present in the hay. The remaining observations are recorded for what they are worth. It is just possible that they have some bearing upon the occurrence of the disease. First. On both of these farms a» careful crop rotation was followed, viz., the land is two years in grain and then seeded down to timothy and clover for two years. Such a method of rotation keeps down the natural growth of alsike and holds in check the equisetum. Second. On both farms the horses were fed a liberal supply of grain the year round, while ha\' was fed sparingly. Third. The sowing of alsike was not practised, red clover being used as a substitute. This naturally resulted in a small quantity of alsike appearing in the hay. Rarely more than 20%. Fourth. The horses were never allowed to graze in "the slash" where plants of all kinds grow, but were pastured in meadow land which is frequently under cultivation. Discussion of the Findings. If the information which has been collected and here presented can be considered as a "body of reliable facts" the most reasonable and obvious deduction is, that some pathogenic principle is present in the food, and that suspicion lies heavily upon the plant equisetum. True, certain valid objections can be brought against such a conclusion, yet, in face of the evidence presented, no one would be quite bold enough to rule out the plant as unrelated to the disease. It belongs to a family with a bad record, several species being known to be poisonous to the horse. Feeding experiments must be made, which, if negative, will yet be of value in definitely eliminating one of the many possible causes. The possibility of alsike clover being toxic when grown or fed under certain as yet undetermined conditions seems rather remote. In fact, the evidence incriminating alsike clover decreases as our knowledge of the disease increases. However, for reasons already given, ex- tensive feeding experiments with alsike ought to be undertaken as soon as possible. A point to be borne in mind is the possible toxicity of a combination of alsike clover and equisetum. No mention has yet been made of the disease being of microbial origin. Such a possibility has not been overlooked, but the existing evidence would seem to be against it. The disease occurring with such frequency on the low land where drainage is poor and following wet seasons does suggest the danger of parasitic infestation, especially when strongyles and cylicostomes abound in the caecum and colon. Experiments designated to induce hea\y parasitism are worthy of consideration. Note on Equisetum. This plant, several species of which were noted, is undoubtedly a very common weed of the farms surrounding New Liskeard. Due to the present season having been unusually wet — more than thirteen inches of rain during June and July — the plant was found in greater abundance than usual. Its very general distribution would indicate that at any time, when the climatic and soil conditions were favourable, a heavy out-cropping of the plant might be expected. When the season is favourable to the growth of hay and grain, their rapid development effectively smothers the equisetum. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 55 so that little appears in the crops. Proper rotation of crops and drainage of the land are valuable preventatives against the spread of this weed. The quantity of ecjuisetuni in the hay can be greatly diminished by the common practice of "cutting high", which leaves the greater part of the plant in the stubble. Also, when dry, as in the cured hay, the withered plant easily falls out on the ground in the handling of the hay between the field and the mow. The toxicity for horses of some species of equisetum is well known. However, the disease produced is dissimilar in certain essential features from that under investigation. It is quite possible that the variety growing in Northern Ontario differs in its pathogenicity from that occurring in the southern part of the Province. Feeding experiments alone can determine this important point. Feeding Experiments Proposed with Alsike Clover and Equisetum Experiments with Alsike Clover. The purpose of these experiments is to determine as far as possible whether alsike clover as it occurs in the Timiskaming district has any harmful effect when continuously fed to horses. Horses to he Used in the Experiments. In all of these experiments it will be necessary to purchase horses outside the area in which the disease is endemic. It would also be advisable to use a minimum of three horses in each experiment, to escape the pit-fall of natural immunity against the disease. Young horses when possible should be selected. The feeding should be continued for a period of from 8 to 12 months. Alsike Clover to he Used in the Experiments. The clover must be procured from the area where the disease is endemic. It is also of great importance that the clover should be pure, that is, free from all weeds. As suggested by Mr. Nixon, Superintendent, Demonstration Farm, New Liskeard, this experiment could be simplified by pasturing the horses on a fenced plot of alsike. Experiment No. 1. To determine the effect of feeding large quantities of green alsike clover over a long period of time. Directions for Carrying Out the Experiment. A large plot of land to be seeded down with alsike clover to ensure purity. Suitable quantities of the clover to be cut daily and fed while green to three experimental horses. The feeding to begin as early as possible in the spring and continue on to the fall. The animals to be carried over the winter on clean timothy hay until the following spring, when the feeding of alsike will be resumed and continued until the fall. The animals to be killed and a post-mortem examination made. Experiment to be conducted at New Liskeard. A clinical examination of all the horses used in the experiments, as well as examination of the blood and urine, to be made both before commencing the experiment and at stated intervals during the experiment. Experiment No. 2. To determine the effect of feeding large quantities of pure alsike clover hay over a long period of time. The hay to be grown and cured at the Demonstration Farm, New Liskeard. Directions for Carrying Out the Experiment. In order to insure the purity of the hay a special plot of land must be sown with alsike clover seed. When the plant is mature, the crop to be cut and cured in the ordinary way. Approxi- mately fourteen tons of hay would be required, allowing 30 lbs. of hay per horse 56 THE REPORT OF No. 29 per day. Three horses ought to be used in the experiment, which should be continued for at least ten months. The animals to be then killed and a post- mortem examination made. Experiment No. 3. To determine the effect of feeding alsike clover hay procured from a farm where the disease has occurred on several different occasions. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if possible whether alsike clover grown in certain areas may develop toxic properties, the harmful nature of the plant being related to unusual, and as yet unknown, conditions governing its growth. A very real difficulty in carrying out this experiment is that of securing pure alsike hay. \\ eeds or grasses mixed in with the hay would naturally vitiate the experiment. Directions for Carrying Out the Experiment. A car load, approximately 12 tons, of hay to be purchased from a farm where the losses due to cirrhosis of the liver have been frequent. The hay to contain a high percentage of alsike. All hay used in the experiment to be carefully picked over and the weeds, as well as the coarser grasses, to be removed. Great care must be exercised in the preparation of the hay. Four horses to be used in the experiment; three to be fed the purified hay. the fourth to be fed on the picking, namely, that which is removed in the process of purification. The feeding to continue for about ten months, when the animals will be killed and a post-mortem examination made. Experiments with Equisetum. Either the green or the dried plant may be used in these experiments. Since the evidence points strongly to some con- stituent of the hay as being the dangerous element, it would be wise to determine first of all the effect — especially upon the liver — of feeding dried equisetum. The conditions already laid down for the feeding of alsike would obtain here also. Experiment No. 4. To determine the effect of feeding small quantities of dried equisetum over a long period of time. Directions for Carrying Out the Experiment. The equisetum to be obtained from farms in the Timiskaming district where cirrhosis of the liver has occurred with frequency. Small quantities of the plant, from one-half to one pound per day. to be fed along with a good quality of hay grown outside the endemic area. Three horses ought to be used in this experiment which should be con- tinued for six months, providing symptoms of disease do not manifest themselves earlier. Blood analysis and urinalysis to be made at regular intervals during the experiment. The animals to be finally killed and post-mortem examination made. The experiments here proposed appear to the writer to be both logical, as based upon the data available, and imperative, as an attempt to solve an urgent and serious problem affecting the welfare of many farmers in an important agricultural district of the Province. A recommendation to be urged, is that of making a thorough botanical survey of the farms in the affected district. This should be undertaken if at all possible during the spring and summer of next year. In conclusion, I wish to express m\- sincere appreciation of the generous help given by Drs. Dunn and Kennedy during the whole time of the investigation. THL VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 57 ANEMIA IN SUCKLING PIGS* Bv Frank W. Scikji'ikld, OA'.Sc. That the raising of w inter Utters of pigs is becoming an increasingly difficult task seems to be the unanimous opinion of those who are engaged in swine husbandry. In fact, due to the heavy losses sustained, many farmers have ceased to raise pigs in the winter months. For instance, during the last few years the losses among winter pigs at the Ontario Agricultural College has been estimated at 50% of those farrowed. In another piggery the mortality during the past winter was almost 80%. Apart from such outstanding losses, there is undoubtedly an increasingly mortality among winter pigs which seems to be quite general throughout the Province of Ontario. Profitable pig pro- duction demands the raising of two litters per sow per annum. As the time of gestation in the sow is four months and the nursing period about another two, it therefore follows that one litter must be raised during the winter months, when losses among young pigs are unusually heavy. Intimately related to this biological fact is an economic one of considerable significance, that is, winter litters are usually more profitable, as they come on the market at a time when prices are high. The problem is thus two-fold. First, to determine the cause of the high mortality in suckling pigs during the winter months; Second, the devising of ways and means whereby the mortality can be reduced. The first, and ver)- important aspect of this problem was solved by Mc- Gowan and Crichton' of the Rowett Institute, Aberdeen, in discovering that the high mortality among piglets was constantly related to a nutritional anemia. They were also able to correct this condition by the feeding of ferric oxide in large quantities to the pregnant and nursing sows. However, their case reports and very satisfactory response to the treatment administered, would indicate that they were dealing with a less severe form of the disease than that which occurs during the winter months in Canada. Prior to their discovery the only noteworthy reference to such a condition among suckling pigs is that of Braasch. He reported heavy mortality among young pigs in certain sections of Schlesv/ig- Holstein, especially where large modern piggeries had been established. On this continent the disease was first described by Doyle, Matthews and Whiting-. These workers after a very thorough investigation of the disease state, among other findings that: (1) The occurrence of anemia did not seem to be influenced by vitamins supplied in cod liver oil, yeast, and orange juice. (2) The addition of ferrous lactate to the ration did not prevent anemia in the young if kept under inside conditions. (3) There appears to be some factor in outside con- ditions which tends to prevent anemia. The latest, and from the standpoint of treatment, most important contribution comes from these "men of iron and copper" Hart, Elvehjem and Steenbock\ Their work will be referred to later; sufficient to mention now that they find in the administration of suitable iron salts a certain prevention and cure for the anemia of young pigs. Our own work, in conjunction with Professor Knox of the Ontario Agricultural College, began in the winter of 1928. Descriptiox of Disease It is quite unnecessary at this time to do more than mention the salient features of this disease along with those aspects which seem to have an im- mediate bearing upon the problem under consideration. (*Paper read before Canadian Chemical Association, Ottawa, May 26th, 1930.) 4 V.C. THE REPORT OF No. 29 Symptoms. In the early stages the only constant symptom is the marked pallor of all visible mucous membranes. When the pigs are three or four weeks old, growing fast, putting on weight and to all appearances doing well, a sudden change may come over the whole litter. They become unthrifty, lose weight, suffer from diarrhea, appear listless, and deaths become frequent. The best pigs are usually the first to succumb. Although the disease declares itself suddenly, an unrecognized but acute anemia always precedes the clinical mani- festation of the disease. Post-mortem Appearances. Apart from the pallor of the tissues, and the thin, pale blood one important pathological condition must be noted. The liver, in most cases has a characteristic speckled appearance. These innumerable, small, white spots represent areas of fatty degeneration. Hematic Changes in Anemia. Before considering the pathological condition of the blood, a fact of considerable interest must be noted. It was surprising to discover that in most litters the little mates at time of birth showed a very marked variation in the hemoglobin content of the blood. This is not due, as was at first supposed, to hemorrhage from the umbilicus, but to individual variation in hematopoietic function. A high percentage of hemoglobin at time of birth is no guarantee against anemia, although there is evidence that such a condition is favourable. Rate of growth, both intra-uterine and extra- uterine, is the most potent single factor in determining the degree of anemia. The tiny pigs in a litter are usually plethoric compared with their companions which have developed rapidly. Hemoglobin Variation among Litter-mates Estimated at Time of Birth No. Weight of Pig Hemoglobin 1 3.8 lbs. 55 2 3.6 " 43 3 3.4 " 55 4 3.2 " 30 5 3.2 " 50 6 2.14 " 50 7 2.6 " 65 8 2.5 " 89 The sudden and severe decline in the quantity of hemoglobin is the most characteristic feature of anemia in piglets. This decline continues until the third or fourth week in winter litters, when spontaneous recovery occurs among the li\ing remnant. In summer litters, especially when on range, the decrease in hemoglobin is not so severe and the recovery more rapid, while the mortality is practically nil. The mystery of the so-called "spontaneous recovery" in anemic pigs is undoubtedly due to the particles of food and fecal matter which they begin to pick up from their surroundings early in life. These features of the disease are well illustrated in Chart No. 1: The Blood Picture. Blood films, made at the time of birth or soon after, show normal, well formed cells. As the disease progresses anisocytosis and anisochromia becomes very pronounced. In some cases normoblasts are quite THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 59 numerous. In the acute form of anemia, er\'throcytes, howe\er degenerate they may be, are kej)t on duty. Ainthing that can carry oxygen must be conserved. Erythrocyte Count. This is always subnormal but the degree of anemia bears no constant relationship to the number of red blood cells. The number of red blood cells in normal blood varies between from 5 to 7 million per cu. mm. The hemoglobin between 80% to 100% on Dare's hemogiobincjmeter. In acute anemia the hemoglobin frequently falls below 20% and the red cell count to 3,000,000 per cu. mm. The colour index is low.

The disease may be labelled "Nutritional Anemia" and placed in the category of "Deficiency Diseases" but this does not answer the important question as to why the disease occurs on one farm and not on another, where both methods of feeding and management are very similar. Even less does it help to solve the problem of why, on the same farm and at the same time, a litter in one pen should be afiflicted and die while in an adjoining pen the piglets show no serious evidence of disease. These, and other equally important questions, must be considered and answered. Some Physiological Aspects of the Disease. It would seem as if nature had been careless, or at least unfair, in her treatment of little pigs; and this on 60 THE REPORT OF No. 29 several counts, all of which are conclusive to the development of anemia. First, the milk supplied, which is the exclusive food during the first few weeks of life, has a low iron content, .009%. Second, the rate of growth is unusually rapid, the pig doubling its weight in the first week, while before the end of the third week there is frequently a fourfold increase in weight. Such growth means very active metabolism and accelerated function of the red blood cells. Third, and most serious of all, the little pigs arrive minus fur coats to endure and survive the cold and frequently damp climate of a Canadian winter. Again, the red blood cells must be taxed to capacity in carrying oxygen to maintain a temperature of 101° F. in a humid atmosphere registering from 30° to 50° F, These are undoubtedly important factors in the development of anemia, but man and not nature has blundered. For we recognize in the fact of our inter- ference in the life of the pig that we have changed a life, originally intimately related to the soil and vegetation, to one on boards and concrete, and from a semi-tropical to a sub-arctic climate. Thus are our hands stained with the anemic blood of innocent pigs. Management and Environment. None of the domesticated animals experience a more varied enA'ironment than the pig. This is the outcome, in part at least, of the attitude of the individual owner to pigs in general, but rarely do they receive the same care and attention as the other farm animals. The environ- ment and management vary to such an extent and in so man}' details that we have found it almost impossible to correlate the occurrence of anemia with any given set of conditions. Damp and cold are unquestionably harmful and especially to little pigs, with their low hemoglobin and unusual susceptibility to anemia. The modern piggery where the disease has been so devastating is unusually damp and cold with concrete walls and floors. The plentiful sunlight and im- proved ventilation which is provided seem to be factors of little significance in the prevention of anemia. This is substantiated by several investigators, notably Craig and Hart. Working independently they both came to the same conclusion — that neither sunshine nor ultra-violet light had any effect in the prevention of anemia in suckling pigs. Craig'*, after extended observations, offers very convincing evidence to show that the incidence of anemia is four times as frequent and the mortality five times as great among pigs kept inside as compared with those kept out of doors, the conditions with regard to feed, structure of pens, and management were practically identical for each group. No explanation is offered for the marked superiority in health of the outside litters (somewhat comparable to sleeping in a stuffy bedroom or an outside sleeping porch). We have conducted but one experiment of this kind, with results which were slightly favourable to the outside litter. The method, beneficial as it may be, is quite impracticable during the winter months in Canada. The advantage of ha\-ing the pigs in a suitable environment has been clearly shown in Chart No. 1. Food. The influence on the offspring of the quality of the food consumed by the pregnant mother, with related experiments, is considered in another part of this paper. The brief observations recorded here may have little bearing upon the disease in question, yet they are not without interest, \^'e have already noted that the pig, during the winter months, is isolated from its intimate contact with the soil and therefore deprived of its unfailing and varied supply of mineral matter. While most breeders recognize the need of adding a mineral supplement to the food supplied to the sow, the equally urgent need THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 61 uf the piglets is freciuentU' neglected. The peculiar anatomical makeup of the nose of the pig would unquestionably suggests its essential function as rooting, i.e., discovering and devouring roots. When a litter of piglets is re- leased for the first time from its conlinement in a concrete pen they immediately turn to rooting in the soil. Some breeders attribute their success in preventing anemia to the practice of throwing sods into the pigsty at frequent intervals — once or twice a week — during the winter months. Another common custom is that of placing wood and coal ashes in the pen, or the loose earth from the root house. It is impossible to e\aluate these different ways of caring for the young, apart from an extensive and intensive survey of methods in swine husbandry. Possibly of greater benefit to the young pigs than the mineral actually devoured as they root in the sod and chew the charcoal and cinders is the fact that from such activities the>' learn to pick up scraps of food from the floor, and feed from the trough, at an unusually early age. This is of undoubted value in the prevention of anemia. One other point: in the modern piggery with its carefully balanced rations the diet is restricted in variety, no domestic waste being added to the food, as is usually the case on the farm. Also the feeding of minerals is rarely from the floor of the pen but from a special container which is beyond the reach of the little pigs. Heredity. There is at present no direct evidence for a genetic factor entering into the problem of causation of anemia, but certain observations make such an interpretation more than probable. For instance, it is not unusual to dis- cover among several sows one whose litter shows marked resistance to anemia. As far as can be determined the resistance of the pigs is derived exclusively from the parents. In one such case the lowest individual reading for a January litter w^as 50% hemoglobin. The opposite condition of unusual susceptibility has been more frequently observed. Our observations would indicate that the quantity of hemoglobin in the blood of the sow^ is no index to the hematopoietic performance of the litter. Although the percentage of iron in the milk of mammals remains remarkably constant for each species, and under ordinary circumstances is not influenced by the iron content of the food consumed, yet, as pointed out by McHargue^, marked individual variations may occur. Somewhat similar individual varia- tions have been recorded for iron storage in the foetal liver. Theoretically at least there are possibilities here which may account for these unusual cases. Breeding experiments have already been commenced at the Ontario Agricultural College with the object of determining if possible the existence of such a genetic factor. Feeding Experiments With Sows feedixg experiments with pregnant and nursing sows directed towards the prevention of anemia in the offspring The number and variety of experiments that have been made by different workers with the purpose of preventing anemia in the young by some special modification of the mother's rations indicates a general recognition of the desira- bility and importance of such an achievement. The ideal way of correcting a deficiency disease in the suckling animal, is through the mother and not by the medication of the young. This is biologically sound, and also good practice, as the average farmer will not give the time or attention required for the daily dosing of a multitude of little pigs. 62 THE REPORT OF No. 29 Considering the mother, there are at least two possible ways by which a deficient element, iron or other, may be provided in greater quantities for the needy young. First, by the addition of iron and other substances essential to hemoglobin synthesis to the food of the sow, with the expectation that it will be secreted in increased quantities in the milk. Second, that by making suitable additions to the rations of the pregnant sow the developing foetus may be enabled to build up adequate reserves sufficient to carry it over the period of low mineral intake and high mortality from anemia. Up to the present the word "failure" must be written large over all such feeding experiments destined to protect the suckling pig against anemia. Only the briefest reference will, therefore, be made to such experiments, important as they may be. At the Ontario Agricultural College, numerous experiments too So o o r ^10 CHBRT No Z. * Rgc *»n M>ceks. Control Pi^S(^) -«.-.•. in the feeding of sows have been made under the direction of Professor Knox. In different groups of experiments there have been added to the regular college ration (finely ground oats, 1 pound; shorts, 1 pound; skim milk, 1 pound to every pound of grain), 5% cod liver meal; 5% cod liver meal and mineral mix- ture; mineral mixture alone; and finally, the regular grain ration with no mineral addition. The results were the same in each case — no protection against anemia in any of the litters farrowed. Doyle, Matthews and Whiting- report the feeding of five different grain rations, and five different kinds of mineral mixtures — very inclusive in their composition — with entirely negative results. Hart, Elevhjem and Steenbock^ have shown conclusively that the feeding of iron has no effect on the iron content of the milk in the cow and goat. They also make the following important statement, based upon feeding experiments THK X^ETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 63 with pregnant sows iisinj^ iron and copper, and analysis of the Hver of the pigs at birth : "We can conclude, therefore, that the reserve supply of iron and copper in the pig at birth cannot be increased by feeding the sows these salts." Some hope is offered in the exi)eriments (jf Titus and Hughes' which suggest that manganese and copper may be stored in the animal bod\' prenatally and later be eftecti\e in the utilization of iron in hemoglobin building. Thus the results of experimental work and clinical observation are in entire agreement, and it would appear that the suckling pig can expect little immediate relief by wa>- of its mother. However, as usual, the biochemist has a partial remed\- at hand. Experiments With Sucklint; Pigs experiments in the direct feeding of iron to the litter Due to the failure to prevent anemia in the young by the feeding of iron and other hemoglobin-forming substances to the pregnant sows, the less desirable method, that of direct feeding of iron to the suckling pigs, was undertaken. In our earliest experiments a sticky, iron (Ferric citrate) glucose mixture was employed. This was applied to the teats of the sow while nursing her young. Such treatment failed to prevent the development of anemia and was abandoned. In a recent article by Hart, Elvehjem and Steenbock'' they report excellent results from the administration of iron in pig anemia. Our failure was un- doubtedly due to faulty technique and not to the inactivity of the iron. Following their technique of oral administration w^e have obtained results quite comparable with their own. Chart No. 2 shows the effect of feeding 25 mg. of iron, Fe2 (504)3, per pig per day. In this case the beneficial effect of the iron is very evident, maintaining the hemoglobin at a level w'hich would prevent the development of anemia. It must be noted that the administration of iron was commenced very early, before the pigs were twenty-four hours old. The early administration of iron would seem to be an important factor if the treatment is to be really effective. Experiments with two other litters gave similar results, in that the hemoglobin level of the blood was maintained above 50%, which in our experience, will save the pig from the harmful effects of anemia. The following chart. No. 3, shows a slow^ response to the treatment. Iron w^as not administered until the pigs were six days old. The low percentage of hemoglobin in the controls would indicate a litter highly susceptible to anemia and in which, under ordinary circumstances, the mortality would be high. Protracted cases of this type must be avoided if possible, due to the time con- sumed in administering the treatment. Iron has been used in two litters only where acute anemia with clinical manifestations had been present for some time — ten days — and in both cases with indifferent results. While the hemoglobin was increased from 15% to 40% in some of the pigs, the damage to the organs and tissues was so severe that the pigs either died or remained unthrifty. Experiment with Liver Extract — Liver extract, prepared according to the method devised by Cohn, was supplied to us by the Connaught Laboratories.* Two gms. of the extract, the equivalent of four ounces of fresh liver, was fed daily to each of three suckling pigs, in a litter of six. The remaining pigs served as controls. "Through the kindness of Dr. McHendry. 64 THE REPORT OF No. 29 I>EUBYEI> TREBTI^ENT (aSrrv^.

CorvTRouT^iasO) THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 65 The liver extract had no appreciable effect in preventing the anemia, but the rapid recovery of these pigs when iron was later substituted for the liver extract is of interest. Usually when treatment with iron is delayed, as in this case, reco\ery is slow. Other investigators have noted and reported on the re\erse of this condition, i.e., the rapid reco\ery of rats from nutritional anemia when small quantities of li\er extract were added to a low lexel of iron. Such recovery has been attributed to the copper content of the liver extract. Experiments with Iron and Spinach — These experiments were decided upon for the following reasons: First, the fact of rapid recovery from anemia among pigs which had access to green food suggested the possibility of such having a definite relationship to hemoglobin synthesis. The work of Simmonds, Becker and McColIum"* would indicate that \itamin E is related to iron assimilation /60 2:80 360 o ui X 20 CHftHT No. 5. / % ^ ^ b' 6 y e f ^o // /I j^ /4f. o" /4 in the pregnant rat. Second, that iron alone did not ahvays give satisfactory results in high hemoglobin production. Third, that traces of iron could usually be detected in the feces of anemic pigs. Fourth, that sows giving birth to winter litters had in most cases received little or no green feed for several months prior to farrowing. While the feeding of spinach to young pigs is not a practical procedure, yet the experiments were thought to be Avorth while for what they might contribute to our present knowledge of nutritional anemia. A litter of seven pigs was used in the first experiment. Four were given spinach wdth the usual dose of iron (25 mg. per pig per day). Three were kept as controls. The spinach was prepared by grinding to a pulp the leaves of the fresh plant. The coarser particles were removed by passing the pulp through a fine mesh sieve. The result, as seen in Chart No. 5 is superior to that of any litter receiving iron alone. There is but a slight decline in the hemoglobin at 66 THE REPORT OF No. 29 the end of the first week, with more than recovery by the end of the second week. Unfortunately there is no proper iron control on the individual litter. (It is of interest to note that this and the following experiment were carried out on a farm where no winter litters had survived during the last two years.) This experiment was therefore repeated with the following modifications. Four pigs from a litter of seven were fed on spinach for a period of seven days. This, as will be seen in the chart, had no effect on preventing anemia. After the first week the feeding of spinach was continued to the four pigs and the whole litter put on a minimum dose of iron and copper. A quantity cal- culated to prevent any further decline in the amount of hemoglobin, but not sufificient to cause anv marked and sudden increase.

We interpret the result as shown in Chart No. 6 as being definitely negative, indicating that fresh spinach fed in such quantities as in this test has no effect on iron assimilation in the pig. The slight difference between the spinach-fed pigs and the control pigs was due to a hemoglobin rise in one pig only, the re- maining three spinach-fed pigs showing quantities of hemoglobin identical with the controls. Experiments to determine the effect of the addition of copper to the iron are now being made but cannot be reported on at the present time. It is of interest to note that even Hart"* questions the necessity of copper for hemo- globin regeneration in the pig. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 67 Most of our experiments ha\'e been made on early spring litters, which in part at least accounts for the very favourable results obtained from the use of iron. The critical test of the iron treatment will be its efficacy in preventing anemia in pigs farrowed during the excessixe cold of midwinter. Conclusions (1) That a definite and fre(}uently fatal disease of suckling pigs, character- ized by an acute anemia, is of common occurrence in this province. (2) That it develop:)s during the first two weeks of life. (3) That it is intimateU' related to indoor life and iron deficiency. (4) That spontaneous recovery occurs in many animals which survive to the fifth or sixth week. (5) That the disease cannot be prevented in the young b\' the addition of the ordinar\- minerals, iron, copper, manganese, etc., to the ration of the mother. (6) That the disease can be prevented by the early oral administration of iron to the young. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. A. A. Kingscote for his most generous assistance in this work.

We are indebted to Dr. Cutcliffe of Brantford for the pathological tissues and history of this unusual case which he kindly supplied to us. History. The subject was a yearling bull which was in apparently good condition and was slaughtered for food purposes. The unusual size of both the liver and spleen caused some doubt as to the suitability of the carcass for human consumption, and a request was made for examination and judgment to be made of the carcass. Spleen. This organ weighed twelve pounds. On section the splenic pulp was noticed to be paler than normal and softer in consistency. The pulp bulged from the cut surfaces due to the contraction of the over distended capsule upon its contents. There were numerous small hemorrhages in the capsule. Liver. The weight was 22 pounds. While in general morphology the organ had changed but little the colour was paler than normal. There were several circumscribed grayish white areas which suggested metastatic growths. Kidney. Slightly enlarged and definitely mottled. No other changes were noted. 68 THE REPORT OF No. 29 Very marked lesions were present in the distal extremity of the ribs, at the costo-chondral articulation. The rib was diffusely swollen, the enlargement being more marked on the internal surface. The swollen area was of a semi- solid consistency, brownish in colour, with areas of hemorrhage, and contained numerous spicules of bone. The underlying bone was rarified and easily crushed by moderate pressure. Microscopic Appearance — Liver. Extensive infiltration of the liver with cells which showed marked irregularity in size. These cells had the appearance of myeloblasts. The nucleus was granular and slightly oval; the cytoplasm which took the eosin readily was limited and uniformly disposed around the nucleus. Kidney. Heavily infiltrated with myeloblastic cells, especially in the cortex, resulting in the atrophy and destruction of large areas of the parenchyma. Tumor from the Rib. The growth is composed of masses of cells quite similar to those found elsewhere. Groups of red blood cells are occasionally seen. Fibrous tissue in the form of trabeculae is present, but in very limited quantities and giving no evidence of definite structural arrangement. THE PRESENCE OF AGGLUTININS IN THE BLOOD OF VETERINARIANS By F. W. Schofield, D.V.Sc. The observation of Huddleston^ with regard to the frequency and meaning of agglutinins against Brucella abortus Bang in the blood of veterinarians seemed to us to be of sufficient significance to warrant the testing of a group of veterin- arians practising in this province. This was done during the summer meeting of the Ontario Veterinary Association. Eighteen specimens of blood were examined for agglutinins, the test-tube method being employed. The antigen used was "Carpenter strain" No. 80. Of these, eight (or 44%) showed the presence of agglutinins in dilutions of 1 :80 and above, which is recognized as the titre indicative of infection. Four showed agglutination in a 1:640 dilution; one in a 1 :320 dilution; one in a 1 :160 dilution and two in a 1 :80 dilution. It was interesting to discover that the ten veterin- arians whose blood showed the absence of agglutinins all gave a negative history when questioned as to infection, while three of the eight whose blood showed Brucella agglutinins gave histories strongly suspicious of undulant fever. The remaining five with positive blood test had no history of sickness which could be confused with undulant fever. Among those whose blood was negative were four men who had been practising for over thirty years during which time they had removed hundreds of afterbirths. There was apparently no relation- ship between the quantity of milk consumed and infection. These findings harmonize with those of Huddleston and others, and would indicate that Brucella abortus Bang is an organism of low pathogenicity for the human being, and also that its invasive powers are not marked, when we con- sider the frequency of contact even with massive infection. The route of in- fection must, however, not be lost sight of, which is more likely via the alimentary tract than through the skin. The results of questioning in regard to the rash which so frequently occurs on the arms of those removing retained fetal membranes were not in entire THK VP:TERINARY college for 1930 69 agreement with the \'iews expressed by Huddlestoii. The rash which he de- scribed with its "small, discrete, and elevated reddish pai)ules" accompanied by intense itching was experienced to a greater or lesser degree by almost every veterinarian in the group. There was little evidence, however, that the rash was caused by the proteins of the Brucella abortus. In most cases the rash only appeared when two or more afterbirths had been removed within a short period of time, say twenty-four to thirty-six hours. It would appear to be related more to direct irritation of the skin than to the Brucella abortus. In one case, however, with a titration of 1 :640 the diffuse erythematous type of rash occurred and was most probably related to Brucella abortion infection. Reference iHuddleston, F.

Schofield, D.WSc, and A. A. Kingscote, B.Y.Sc, This experiment was undertaken in the hope of gaining some accurate information on the following matters which are of vital importance to those engaged in fox ranching. First: Is the silver black fox susceptible to canine distemper? For many years there has been much controversy on this point but as far as we know no definite experiments have been undertaken, so that opinions and not experimental data form the basis of most of the discussion. Second: If the silver black fox is susceptible to canine distemper can immunity against the disease be developed by the use of the Dunkin-Laidlaw vaccine? Third: Is it possible that the so-called "fox encephalitis" is really a form of distemper? There is much similarity in symptoms between some forms of "nervous distemper" as it occurs in the dog and encephalitis as it occurs in the fox. Both diseases are apparently due to a filterable virus. Outbreaks of encephalitis have already occured in Ontario ranches, and with serious conse- quences, due to our lack of any adequate knowledge with regard to the disease. Technique of the Experiment Six fox pups were used in the experiment. The pups were placed in a cage and kept under observation for several days, and were apparently in perfect health. On July 14th three of the pups w'ere inoculated with Canine Distemper Vaccine according to the method of Dunkin and Laidlaw. The pups remained perfectly healthy. On August 14th all of the pups — six — were inoculated with the Live \"irus. All of the inoculations were made subcutaneously. August 22nd. One of the pups which had received the live virus only was found dead in the pen. All of the pups appeared to be sick. They were oft'- feed and drowsy. August 25th. Another one of the pups which had received the virus only died. The remaining pups were still feeding poorly and evidently sick, but showing nothing characteristic. 70 THE REPORT OF No. 29 August 29th. The first of the immunized pups died. September 1st. The last one of the pups which had received the virus only died. September 2nd. A pup which had received the vaccine and the virus died. Only one pup of the six survived. This pup was off-feed and evidently sick for about ten days. It was one of the three which had been immunized with the vaccine only. Symptoms produced by the virus: These were most indefinite. All of the pups showed anorexia, with loss of flesh and general condition. They were listless and appeared to be suffering from a profound toxaemia. There was a slight discharge from the eyes, in some becoming muco-purulent. There was no nasal discharge, or any evidence of respiratory infection. Of equal importance is the entire lack of any cerebral symptoms or even nervousness. Post-mortem appearance: The post-mortem changes were much the same in all casef. Abdominal viscera: Small intestines; some evidence of catarrhal inflam- mation but this was most likely due to the presence of hook worms. Liver: a few pale areas which may have represented foci of degeneration. Most of the liver tissue appeared normal. Spleen: a few small superficial haemorrhages. Slight enlargement of the organ. Stomach: in one case there was extensive and acute inflammation. One other case showed slight inflammation, the remainder were normal. Kidney: pale in all cases. Thoracic viscera. Heart: apparently normal in all except one case in which subendocardial haemorrhages were present. Lungs: no marked changes except for occasional areas of hyperaemia. Both visceral and body lymph glands were slightly congested. The brain and meninges were altered in two cases only. In one of these the lateral ventricles contained an excess of fluid and showed numerous petechial hemorrhages. Both of these cases showed some meningeal congestion. Microscopical sectioning of the tissues is not yet completed. Co77clusions Although the animals in the experiment were few in number yet the results were so uniform in each animal that definite conclusions would seem to be warranted. These are (1) The silver black fox can be artifically infected with the virus of canine distemper. (2) That there is an absence of what might be called diagnostic symptoms. Diagnosis of the disease from the clinical appear- ance alone would be extremely difficult. (3) That fox encephalitis is apparently a distinct disease from canine distemper and not the cerebral form of the latter disease. (4) That the vaccine or "dead virus" failed to give any protection against a subsequent injection of the living virus. We are grateful to Mr. \V. O. Thompson, of Kitchener, Ontario, for supply- ing the foxes used in the experiment, and the Lederle Company of New York for kindly supphing the vaccine and virus. THE X'ETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 71 MILK HNC.IENE, FOl LTRV DISEASES AND SEROLOGY J. S. Glover, BA'.Sc. Duriiiy; the \-ear eiidinij October 31st, 1930, the work conducted may be huniniarized under the following heading: Teaching. — A course of lectures and practical work in milk hygiene was given to the fourth-\ear class. This course included visits to dairies and dairy farms. A course of lectures in poultry diseases was also given to the fourth- year class, and, owing to the ample material received it was possible to make this course a practical one b>' having the students conduct ante-mortem and post-mortem examinations and make bacteriological examinations where neces- sary. Assistance was also given in instruction in laboratory bacteriology to the third and fourth years. Preparation of Biological Products.— One hundred and two thousand, six hundred test doses of S. pullorum antigen and positive and negative control sera were distributed to veterinarians for the agglutination test for S. pullorum infection. This amount was far in excess of that distributed the previous year, and consequently more time was required for the preparation of this product. Eight hundred and fifty test doses of A. abortus antigen were also sent out for use by veterinary surgeons. About twenty thousand doses of fowl pox vaccine were prepared for use in investigational work. Investigation. — Comparatively little time was available for experimental work owing to the steady increase in routine examinations. Reports on the work that w'as done in connection w^ith fowl pox vaccination, culture medium for 5. pullorum, lice on fowl, comparison of tube and rapid agglutination tests for A. abortus infection, and nutritional disease in fowl are submitted in the follow^ing indices. As a member of the antigen committee of the North Eastern States Pullorum Disease Control Laboratory Workers I have had to devote a certain amount of time in the selection of suitable strains of 5. pullorum for the prepara- tion of 5. pullorum antigen. In this work valuable assistance was rendered by Miss A. Le Grand. Routine Examination of Specimens. — This consisted of the routine examina- tion of samples of fowl and cattle blood, and the bacteriological or such other examination at times of other specimens. Assistance was given by Miss A. Le Grand in the testing of blood. As in the previous year the only fowl bloods examined were from the Poultry Husbandry Department of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, and breeding stations under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture of Ontario. Testing for others was carried out by certain practi- tioners to whom we supplied the necessary antigen and control sera. The number of^routine poultry autopsies is steadily increasing.

S. Glover, B.V.Sc. The existence of botli male and female organs in the same bod\' is appar- enth' as rare in fowl as in mammals. References to this abnormality have doubtless been made; but a rather hasty review of scientific journals has failed to disclose to the writer any report of the finding of such a case. It is therefore considered that the following results of an examination should be recorded. A Rhode Island Red fowl (dead) was recently received at the College for examination. The bird was apparently eight or nine months old. No history was obtainable at the time, the letter accompanying the carcass simply asking for information as to the probable cause of the illness of the bird and how it could be cured. (The fowl was alive when despatched.) Post-mortem examination revealed the following: A cystic right ovary was present, and the other ovary appeared as a mass of inflamed tissue, the follicles being hardly distinguishable to the naked eye. Two testicles, each about a third of an inch in length, were situated in the normal position. The whole of the parietal peritoneum was inflamed. The back of the bird was denuded of feathers and the tail feathers had also been pecked or pulled out. This lack of feathers suggests that the bird w'as treated as a pariah by the rest of the flock. A STUDY OF THE GROWTH OF S. PULLORUM ON VARIOUS CULTURE MEDIA By J. S. Glover, B.\'.Sc. The standard culture medium for the growth of S. pullorum used for years at the Ontario Veterinary College has consisted of the following ingredients: Beef liver infusion 500 c.c. Peptone (Difco) 10 c.c. Sodium chloride 5 c.c. Agar 15 grams Distilled water up to 1,000 c.c. No sodium hydroxide has been added, and the reaction is about p.H 6.2. This medium has always been found suitable, and the growth, after 48 hours incubation at 37° C, has been abundant. It has been suggested that a more satisfactory medium was one prepared from Difco beef extract. L'ndoubtedly this would entail less work, and could be safely adopted as a standard, as the beef extract could be obtained by all laboratories, whilst fresh beef liver is not always available. The formulae of the fifteen media studied, together with a comparison of growths of three pullorum strains and agglutination results of a mixture of these strains grown on the various media are given in the following tables. It will be readily seen that Media 3 and 1 gave the best results as regards growth, although Medium 7 would be considered as the best from a sensitivity stand- point. 74 THE REPORT OF No. 29 Medium 1 Fresh beef infusion 500 c.c.

S. C.i.ovKK, BA'.Sc A request was received from the entomologist in charge of one of the Dominion entomological laboratories to investigate the so-called merits of a proprietary preparation sold for the eradication of lice and other vermin on poultry. The directions for its use and the claims made regarding the efficacy of the product are as follows: — "F"or the first few days drop two tablets into each gallon of water, which should be changed daily. After eight or ten days give only one tablet per gallon. Lice Tablets cannot injure your birds so there is no danger of their getting too much. Keep your houses well ventilated and your flock will soon be lice free, clean and healthy. Baby chicks and turkeys will never know what a louse is if given Lice Tablets in their water from the start. Paint your roosts with used crank case oil from your car four times a year. You can get this from any garage free if you have none of your own. Keep the roosts painted with this oil. LIse Lice Tablets as directed and you will never be troubled with vermin again. Lice Tablets affect the oil glands which supply the oil to the feathers. In this way the feathers become saturated with the tonic. Lice and mites cannot live when they come in contact with Lice Tablets. In this way the bird is kept clean and healthy." For obvious reasons the name of the tablets is not given in this report and they are termed Lice Tablets. With one's knowledge of the anatomy of birds it was hard to reconcile this claim. It is a well-known fact that poultry have no sweat glands, therefore it would be a miracle if the administration of anything in the drinking water had any effect on external parasites. However, we are told that miracles were at one time performed, so there is no reason to assume that the apparently im- possible cannot occur in the present age. It was therefore decided to give the product under investigation a fair trial, and it was used as directed. The results of the investigation are as follow: August 15th, 1930. Fifteen adult fowl infested with lice were placed in groups of threes in five separate pens. Each pen was isolated from the others. Pen 1. Two Barred Rock females and one White Leghorn male. Perch was soaked with used crank case oil, and the drinking water was treated with Lice Tablets as directed throughout the test. Pen 2. Three Barred Rock females. Perch was not treated. Lice Tablets used in drinking water as directed throughout the test. Pen 3. Two White Leghorn and one Barred Rock females. Perch was soaked with used crank case oil. Water not treated. Pen 4. Three White Leghorn females. Perch treated with nicotine sul- phate. Pen 5. Two W hite Leghorn and one Barred Rock females. Neither perch or water treated. Controls. August 23rd. Perch in pen 4 again treated with nicotine sulphate. September 12th. Perches in pens 1 and 3 again treated with used crank case oil, and perch in pen 4 treated with nicotine sulphate. 78 THE REPORT OF No. 29 September 16th. All birds carefully examined, commencing with pen 1 and finishing with pen 5. The findings were as follows: Pen 1. All three birds heavily infested with lice. Infestation quite as heavy as when investigation commenced. Pen 2. All three birds heavily infested with lice. Apparently no change since treatment was commenced. Pen 3. Lice found on only one bird out of the three. Pen 4. All three birds heavily infested with lice. Apparently no change since investigation commenced. Summary. Three lice-infested birds were treated for thirty-two days with Lice Tablets in the drinking water as directed and their perch was treated with used crank case oil at the beginning of the test and again twenty-eight days later. There was no apparent decrease in the infestation at the end of this period. Three lice-infested birds were treated for thirt^'-two days with Lice Tablets in the drinking water as directed. There was no apparent decrease in the in- festation at the end of this period. Three lice-infested birds were kept in a pen for thirty-two days. The perch was treated with used crank case oil on the first and twenty-eighth days. At the end of this period lice were found on only one of the three birds. Three lice-infested birds were kept in a pen for thirty-two days. The perch was treated with nicotine sulphate on the first, eighth and twenty-eighth days. At the end of the period there was no apparent decrease in the amount of in- festation. Three lice-infested fowls were kept in a pen for thirty-two days. Na treatment of any description was given. The infestation at the end of the period was apparently the same as at the beginning. During the thirty-two day period all of the birds spent a considerable amount of time on the perches, and when observed at night they would all be perching. Strict cleanliness was observed throughout the test. Most of the birds were in better health at the end than at the beginning of the test. The birds whose water contained the Lice Tablets consumed about twice as much of the water as the birds whose drinking water was not treated. At no time during the test were the birds handled, and there was no opportunity for the lice to be transferred from one pen to the other. It is generally believed that the fumes from nicotine sulphate are of great benefit in the eradication of external vermin on fowl. Apparenth" beneficial results are only obtained if the perches are treated with it a short time before the birds go to roost and if it has not been exposed to the air to any great extent before being used. Further investigations will therefore be conducted before coming to any definite conclusion as to the merits of nicotine sulphate. One can, however, conclude that the tablets are worthless. THK X'HTHRINARV COLLEGE FOR 1930 79 LM.Ml MZATION AGAINST lOWL-POX Bv J. S. Glovkk, BA'.Sc. Fowl-pox, or avian diphtheria, has for years been recognized by the poultry- men of Ontario as one of the greatest scourges with which they have to contend. Occurring as it does most frequently during the "laying" months it results not only in a heavy mortality but also in greatly decreased egg production. Realizing the economic importance of avian diphtheria attempts have been made from time to time to produce immunity to the disease and also to effect a cure in infected birds by inoculation with a suspension of the virus. Up until the last few years inoculation experiments by various investigators have not proved entirely satisfactory; but a review of literature published on the subject during the past year or two indicated that fowl could be actively im- munized against the disease. Briefly, the reports show that (1) The sub- cutaneous method does not immunize in a large percentage of cases, and it has an undesirable effect on growth. (2) The intravenous method is slow, is more or less satisfactory in regard to immunization, but also has an undesirable effect on growth. (3) The scarification method is apparently successful in producing acti\e immunity, but is accompanied by excessive systemic disturbance. (4) The follicular method is satisfactory and has little effect on growth. (5) The "stick" method, introduced by Johnson \ successfully immunizes and has little effect on growth. With the co-operation of the poultry department of the Ontario Agri- cultural College it was therefore decided to conduct investigations in connection with the Johnson stick method, and the following report is confined to our activities during the past summer and fall. One of the most important factors in immunization against fowl-pox is the virulence of the ground scab. This w^as emphasized by Bottorrf- to the writer, and it was decided to employ ground scab prepared by him for the propagation of part of the virus to be used, and another equally recommended ground scab for the propagation of the remainder of the virus required in the investigation. On July 18th the combs of nine White Leghorn cockerels were scarified and painted with an aqueous suspension of ground scab procured from New Hampshire. A good growth was produced and the first crop of scabs was taken off fifteen days later. These were kept covered at room temperature for forty-eight hours and then ground up as finely as was possible with available equipment, tubed and corked and put in the refrigerator. This batch was labelled "virus A." The second crop of scabs (good growth) was taken off four days later, treated in the same manner as the first crop, and labelled "virus B." No birds died from the effects of the propagation or as the result of the removal of the scabs. On July 22nd twelve White Leghorn cockerels were used for the propa- gation of more virus containing scab, the ground scab used being procured from another laboratory. Fifteen days later a good growth of scab was removed, treated as "A" and "B" and designated "virus C." The second growth was taken off seven days later, dried, tubed and corked, and labelled "virus D." These twelve birds were heavily infested with roundworms and tapeworms, and several of them were either destroyed before the second crop was taken off or a few days later. Ground scab from two other laboratories also were used in the investigation and were labelled "virus E" and "virus F." \^'ith the exception of one pen in one flock all birds were vaccinated in the right leg by the Johnson stick method. By this method the difficulty of finding 80 THE REPORT OF No. 29 open follicles in birds that have moulted some time previously does not enter into the case as it quite often does in the follicular procedure, and it is much quicker. The site for inoculation is external and posterior to the proximal end of the tibia. After the vaccination of a few birds one realizes the advisability of using this place. The area is devoid of feathers and thus readily accessible; there is no danger of blunting the point of the knife against a feather shaft; this part of the bird's anatomy is a firm place for a stab; and when examining for "take" scabs, the "take," if present, is easily found. As recommended, we used sharp pointed scalpels which were wrapped with adhesive tape so as to leave an ex- posed point of 3/32 of an inch. It was thus possible to make a definite break in the skin without danger of going too deeply. The ground scab (vira A, B, C and D) were mixed with distilled water in the proportion of 200 milligrams of ground scab to 25 c.c. of water just before being used. This proportion of scab is higher than that used which was obtained from the other laboratories owing to the fact that available equipment would not permit ours to be ground up so finely. Results, however, indicated that the proportion used was satisfactory. All that the operator had to do then was to dip the scalpel in the aqueous suspension of scab before sticking each bird. Following are some of the records of vaccination with the various batches of scab. Flock 1, Pen 1. Four hundred and eight White Leghorn and Barred Rock pullets vaccinated in right leg, stick method. Age of birds 33^ to 5 months. "E virus" used. Birds examined five days later. "Takes" observed on all. No systematic disturbance had been noticed. Birds were feeding well and some were laying. Seventeen days after vaccination the birds were again examined. Takes were well in evidence at this time. Scabs, which were drying up, were from one-third to one-half inch in diameter. The birds at this time apeared all right, but from the tenth to the fourteenth day there was no gain in weight and the birds had not been feeding quite as well. Egg production (which had only just commenced) had not fallen off. Twenty-seven days after vaccination the pen was again examined. All scabs had fallen oft and it was difftcult to find any evidence of vaccination. All birds apparently healthy. At this time twelve birds in the pen were vaccinated in the left leg with "virus B" and leg banded. Another pen of susceptible birds were also vaccinated with the same suspension. Both lots of birds were examined at frequent intervals up to fifteen days for "takes." None were found on those vaccinated the second time, whilst "takes" were well in evidence on the others. This indicated that immunity to fowl-pox had been produced in the first pen. Flock 1, Pen 2. Eight hundred pullets and cockerels, three and one-half to five months old, various breeds vaccinated with "A virus." Birds examined seven and thirteen days later. "Takes" found in all examined, and were one- third to one-half inch in diameter on the second occasion. No sickness had been observed, but there was no gain in weight for a few days after the tenth day. Thirty-one days after the first vaccination ten of the birds were vaccinated on the left leg with "virus A." No "takes" resulted, although susceptible birds vaccinated at the same time with the same batch of scab suspension showed good "takes" ten days later. Flock 2, Pen 1. Seven hundred and fifty birds, three and one-half to six months old, vaccinated with "E virus." A few birds in the flock escaped vac- cination and it was reported that a few died later of fowl-pox. It could not THE \ETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 81 be determined whether those that died were the ones that escaped but it was presumed so. The manager reported that seventy-five per cent, of the birds in the flock showed evidence of a "take" ten days after vaccination. It was not cf)nvenient for us to examine this flock at this time or it is quite likely that the percentage of takes recorded would have been higher. The younger birds in the fljck showed a slight loss of appetite about one week after vaccination. Four days later it had returned to normal. Birds in fifty per cent, egg produc- tion when vaccinated dropped to three per cent, ten days to two weeks later. This drop continued for about two months. No birds in this flock were tested for inmiunity. Flock 3. About fourteen hundred White Leghorn and Barred Rock pullets and cockerels vaccinated with A, B, C, D and ¥ vira. Two weeks after vac- cination takes were obser\'ed on all birds examined in each pen, the scabs being from one-third to one-half inch in diameter. About seven days after vaccination the appetite decreased and all the birds that were laying commenced to moult a week later with a consequent decrease in egg production. This decrease continued for about six weeks. Vaccination of six birds in each of six pens about se\en w^eeks after the first vaccination did not result in a "take" on any of them. Flock 4. About thirteen hundred and seventy White Leghorn pullets and cockerels vaccinated with vira A, B, C and D. Frequent examinations for "takes" were made up to eighteen days later. None were found excepting on ten birds that were introduced into the fiock the day the fiock was vaccinated. This flock had had a severe attack of fowl-pox six months previously and the survivors were apparently immune to the disease at the time of vaccination. Flock 5. Two thousand, seven hundred and fifty White Leghorn pullets and cockerels vaccinated wath vira A, B, C and D. All birds examined ten days later in each pen showed good take scabs. Cockerels were "ofif feed" from the 10th to the 14th day, but afterwards were all right. Pullets in lay showed a slump in egg production for about a week, commencing about the ninth day after vaccination. Three and a half months after being vaccinated some of the birds w^ere vaccinated in the other leg with virus C, and six un- vaccinated birds from another flock were done at the same time with the same suspension. "Takes" later developed on the latter birds but not on the former. Numerous other birds were vaccinated by us during the season. These were in flocks at w^idely different points, and enough were under observation to w'arrant us in arriving at a few definite conclusions. The results obtained were more or less similar to those previously quoted in this report and a record of them here would only mean endless repetition. An exception, however, occurred in one flock of about 800 birds. These were of several breeds, pullets and cockerels, two to four months old. Coccidiosis had attacked the flock, and the birds on the whole were unthrifty. Under ordinary circumstances the flock would not have been vaccinated, but the manager was desirous of seeing the effect. Mrus A was used. Good "takes" were observed on all that were examined about two weeks later, and after this the flock mortality w^as unusually high. The following questionnaire was sent out in December to all the owners whose flocks were under investigation: About what was the percentage of "takes" among the vaccinated birds? Did any birds die from the effects of the vaccination? 82 THE REPORT OF No. 29 Was any illness noticed in the flock after vaccination? If so. how many days after the birds were vaccinated'' What was the efTect on egg production? At what time was this first noticed, and for how long did it continue? Have any birds developed colds, roup or fowl-pox since being vaccinated? Did any of the birds that were vaccinated the second time show any evidence of a "take" after the second vaccination? As might be expected the answers to some of the questions were not in complete agreement. Unfortunately, some of the owners did not reply, but enough sent in their answers to make it possible for us to analyze the results. Most agreed that "takes" were found on all birds examined and those of us who were conducting the work found "take" scabs on all that we examined. They were largest and most prominent from the tenth to the fifteenth day. The only direct evidence of vaccination resulting in death was in the flock of birds affected with coccidiosis. In birds three and a half to four and a half months old the only evidence of systemic disturbance was a loss of appetite for a few days commencing seven to ten days after vaccination. Pullets that were laying at the time of vaccination showed a decided decrease in egg production. This decrease com- menced seven to fourteen days after vaccination and if it was accompanied by a moult or a partial moult continued for six weeks to two months. The query as to whether colds, roup or fowl-pox had developed after vaccination was prompted by reports in November that vaccination was apparently resulting in immunity to colds and roup. It is generally agreed that fowl-pox vaccination will not immunize against roup or colds, but after the early reports were received it was suggested that perhaps the vaccination had built up the birds' resistance with the result that they were not so susceptible to these dis- eases. The suggestion was not unfeasible, but examination of the reports received later showed that several flocks had, as in previous years, developed colds, although none reported cases of roup. No birds vaccinated the second time showed any evidence of a "take." Controls (susceptible birds) vaccinated at the same time with the same scab emulsion always showed good "take" scabs. The question was raised by some as to whether vaccination would have any effect on the agglutinable properties of the blood of pullorum carriers. To settle this question to the satisfaction of all concerned a pen of ten Barred Rocks, 8 pullets and 2 cockerels, all in good condition, were each given 1 c.c. of a fairly heavy saline suspension of S. pullorum by the intravenous route. The sus- pension was not killed or attenuated. Ten days later all birds were bled, and immediately afterwards five of them (4 pullets and 1 cockerel) were vaccinated in the right leg with "C" virus suspension. The sera were set up with pullorum antigen in dilutions of 1-10, 1-25, 1-50, 1-100, 1-250, 1-500 and 1-1000, and read 48 hours later.

None of the pullets had commenced to lay before the end of this test, and during the v.hole time no difference was observed in the general health and vigour of any of the birds. It is interesting to note that both the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were in the same house and run all the time, and contrary to some reports the unvaccinated group did not contract fowl-pox. The results of this test w^ould indicate that vaccination with fowl-pox virus has no effect on the agglutinable properties of the blood of pullorum carriers, even at the time when the greatest systemic disturbances are present. The time and labour elements are of importance when a large flock is to be vaccinated. \\'e adopted various schemes to "speed up" tjie work, and in some instances recorded the time it took us to do a pen. It was found that the greatest number of birds were vaccinated in a given time when two or three men caught the birds, handed them to two others who would stand one on each side of the vaccinator and expose the part for him in which to make the stick. By this means we would vaccinate eight hundred birds in an hour. Whilst our investigations are by no means completed and are at the present time being continued we are able to arrive at the following conclusions on the work already done: If the ground scab is virulent and freshly mixed with sterile water it will result in a definite "take" in susceptible birds. The "take" is best in evidence at about two weeks after vaccination. The flock should be healthy when vaccinated. If vaccinated a month before the birds are expected to come into lay little systemic disturbance occurs. Vaccination of laying birds results in a decided decrease in egg production which will persist for some considerable time. The stick method is quick and effective. Fowl-pox vaccination by this method has no effect on the production of agglutinins in carriers of pullorum disease. Transferrence of fowl-pox from vaccinated to unvaccinated susceptible birds is apparently not common. First and second crop scabs were equally \irulent. References (1) Johnson, W.

Durin^^ the past summer and fall our attention was drawn to several flocks in which the mortalitx' rate was extremely hij^h. The owners of the flocks were greatly alarmed, not only on account of the many deaths, but also because they were confronted with a condition with which they were entirely unfamiliar and were therefore at a loss to know how to combat with the situation. In August three dead Barred Rock pullets were left at the laboratory with a note saying that several birds in the flock had recently died. Routine examina- tion of these birds showed that they were emaciated, and deposits of urates of sodium were present on the liver, pericardium and peritoneum. A diagnosis of visceral gout was made and instructions sent to the owner regarding the diet of the flock. Six days later two more dead pullets were received from the same place. These birds also were emaciated. The only abnormalities present were a viscid discharge from the nose, and caseous patches in the mouth and pharynx. One could not distinguish this condition from roup. The following day the owner brought in another pullet which also showed "roupy" lesions, emaciation and swollen kidneys. At the same time he stated that several birds were dying each day, and several that he had opened showed whitish deposits on the surface of the liver, peritoneum, and pericardium, whilst many others in the flock were exhibiting dullness, lassitude and symptoms of roup. It was therefore decided to visit the place that evening and make a careful examination of the flock and their surroundings. The puzzling feature of the case was that according to the owner the diet of the birds was all right and included an adequate supply of green feed. The visit to this poultry farm is t^-pical of several. The birds were separated into five different groups, and it was impossible for any group to come into contact with any other. In each group it was noticed that the majority of the birds were unthrifty and listless. Any that were caught and examined were found to be extremely thin. Enquiries regarding the diet brought forth the information that the green feed consisted entirely of range grass. It was obvious that this was entirely inadequate. We had experienced in that part of Ontario an extremely dry summer with the result that the grass was anything but green. The condition of the flock as a whole and the condition of the range immediately pointed to nutritional disease as being the cause of the excessive losses. Owing to the extremely dry summer the green feed on the range was deficient in vitamins, especially vitamin A. It was therefore suggested that the diet of the flock be supplemented by a quart of cod liver oil to each one hundred pounds of mash and also sprouted oats. The result of this change in the diet was that deaths in the flock discontinued in a week and the general health of the birds im- proved. This report on one flock is typical of several which were drawn to our notice during August and September. The dry summer had resulted in an inadequate amount of vitamin A in the range green feed, and when this shortage was corrected by the addition of cod liver oil and succulent green feed, deaths ceased and recoveries among the affected birds took place. 86 THE REPORT OF No. 29 COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF DIFFERENT PERIODS OF INCUBATION AND DIFFERENT INCUBATION TEMPERATURES IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGGLUTINATION TEST FOR CONTAGIOUS ABORTION By J. S. Glover, BA'.Sc. At the request of several veterinarians one hundred and thirty-four samples of cattle sera submitted for the agglutination test for A. abortus infection were set up in duplicate in dilutions of 1:10, 1:25, 1:50 and 1:100, and the results recorded at twenty-four hours and forty-eight hours incubation at room tem- perature and at 37.5° C. Complete or partial agglutination in the 1 :100 dilution are recorded as positive. No agglutination in the 1:100 dilution, complete or partial in the 1:50 dilution or complete only in the 1 :25 dilution are recorded as suspicious or doubtful. No agglutination in the 1:100 or 1:50 dilutions, partial or none in the 1:25 dilution, and complete, partial or none in the 1:10 dilution are designated negative. The number of samples found to be in agreement in all dilutions at both temperatures at twent\--four hours was one hundred and fourteen. One hundred and twenty-five samples were in agreement in all dilutions at both temperatures at forty-eight hours. At both temperatures at both the twenty-four and forty-eight hour readings ninety-one samples were in agreement. The following is a summary of the results recorded at both observations: 21 hours at room temperature 24 hours at 37.5° C. 24 hours at room temperature 48 hours at 37.5° C. Number of samples classed as negative Number of samples classed as suspicious or doubtful. Number of samples classed as positive 74 30 30 76 30 28 56 41 37 62 36 36 The above observations agree with other workers that 24 hours at 37.5° C. or at room temperature results in too many samples being recorded as negative. It must be noted that "room" temperature as recorded here was the temperature of the laboratory during the summer months and was extremely variable. One can infer, however, from these results that if the room is maintained at summer heat and the "set ups" kept therein for forty-eight hours, complete agglutina- tion in the 1:100 dilution will occur with the positive samples. THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 87 COMPARLSON OF TUBE AND RAPID AGCLUTINATION TESTS FOR THE DETECTION OF A. ABORTUS REACTORS By J. S. Clover, BA'.Sc. It is doubtful if any phase of serological studies during the past ten years has been the subject of more contention than has that of comparative tests between tube and rapid agglutination methods. The tube method has for long been considered the standard, its only acknowledged disadvantage being the length of time that must elapse before a reading can be made. No serologist could honestly claim that the results obtained by the method are irrefutable, yet all admit that no other method of accurately detecting specific agglutinins is better. The only claim made for the rapid agglutination method is that it does away with the "time" element. It is not generally known, excepting by those workers who have compared the two methods, that the term "rapid" does not refer to the expediency of the test as far as the laboratory worker is concerned. In conducting any com- parable rapid test for contagious abortion infection, for instance, more time is consumed by the worker in doing the so-called rapid test than is necessary for the tube test. The term "rapid" simply indicates that instead of waiting forty-eight hours for readings by the tube method results can be obtained within a few minutes by the rapid method after the clear serum has separated from the clotted blood. This point has not been sufficiently emphasized, and has led to a misconception on the part of those not versed in serology. Numerous attempts to prepare a satisfactory antigen for the rapid test that would give comparable results to the tube test have been made from time to time with varying degrees of success. The procedure outlined by Huddleson and Abell; for the preparation of antigen and the carrying out of the test seems to have met with greater favour than any other method. Briefly their method consisted of washing off with twelve per cent, phenolized sodium chloride solution a seventy-two hour liver agar growth of a suitable strain of A. abortus. After filtration through absorbent cotton O.Ol c.c. of a saturated aqueous solution of gentian violet is added to each 100 c.c. of antigen. The antigen is heated to slow- boiling and the boiling continued for ten minutes. It is then again filtered, cooled rapidly, and adjusted to a p.H of 6.8. Standardization with negative and positive sera, whose titre has previously been determined by the tube method, is the next step. In the main we followed the technique as described, but deviated from the procedure in certain instances. For example, in the tests recorded in group 1 of this report the antigen was not nearly so dense as recommended, and after several preliminary tests we adopted 0.06 c.c. as the amount of this batch to be added to the various amounts of serum. In the tests recorded in group 2 we used 0.03 c.c. of antigen which was shown by our preliminary tests to be the suitable amount. Although it will be seen that the two tests do not agree entirely, yet it must be admitted that there is fairly close relation. It must be remembered that the tube test, while accepted as the standard, is not by any means accurate in every instance. Is it not reasonable, therefore, to assume that where a differ- ence occurs the error is quite as likely, in some instances, to lie with the inter- pretation according to the tube test as with the results obtained by the rapid method? 88 REPORT OF THE VETERINARY COLLEGE FOR 1930 Xo. 29 It will be noticed in the comparative results of the two hundred and four samples listed in the following groups that where a difference is recorded the difference is comparatively slight. In other words no sample was recorded as positive by one test and negative by the other. Unfortunately, it has not been our privilege up to the present time to become acquainted with the history of many of the reactors, so that it would be futile to offer an opinion as to the degree of reliability of results obtained by either method in the following tests. The relationship, however, in the results from the two tests is sufficiently close to warrant in the future more comparative tests being made and the procuring of as many histories as possible of positi\"e and doubtful reactors. Group 1. — Eighty-nine samples were compared, using 0.06 c.c. of special concentrated antigen for the rapid test. In this group there was complete agreement according to our interpretation of results between the two tests in seventy-six, or 85.4 per cent. Of the remaining thirteen in which there was not complete agreement between the two tests seven were classed as doubtful by the tube test and negative by the rapid method; three were negative by the tube method and doubtful by the rapid; and one doubtful by the tube and positive by the rapid test. Group 2. — This group of one hundred and fifteen samples was compared, using 0.03 c.c. of special antigen for the rapid test. Complete agreement oc- curred between the two methods in one hundred and two, or 88.7 per cent. Of the remaining thirteen samples five were negative by the tube test and doubtful by the rapid ; five were doubtful by the tube and negative by the rapid test; and three were classed as positive by the tube test and doubtful by the rapid method. Sixteen of the samples were from steers ranging in age from five months up to twenty-five months. Three of these, the youngest of which was sixteen months old, were positive. Referenxe Huddleson, I.

TENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINIMUM WAGE BOARD 1930 PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO SESSIONAL PAPER No. 38. 1931 ONTARIO TORONTO Printed and Published by Herbert H. Ball, Printer to the King's Most Elxcellent Majesty 1 93 1 To His Honour William D. Ross, Esq., Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario. May It Please Your Honour: The undersigned has the honour to present to Your Honour the Tenth Annual Report of the Minimum \\'age Board of Ontario for the year 1930. Respectfully submitted, J. D. ]\IONTEITH, Minister of Public Works and Labour. 30 The Honourable J. D. Moxteith, Minister oj Labour, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Sir: — I have the honour to submit herewith the Tenth Annual Report of the Minimum Wage Board. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. W. Macmillan, Chairman. ANNUAL REPORT MINIMUM WAGE BOARD, 1930 This report marks the completion of ten years' work. When the Board was appointed in 1920, the minimum wage laws were in operation in Canada only in the western provinces. To-day the entire Dominion is covered, except Prince Edward Island, which, with its slight industrialization, scarcely needs such a law. Thus, Canada has drawn into alignment with the other democracies of the British Empire, as Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all possess such laws, enforcing them both as to male and female labour. These ten years have carried Ontario through one depression, followed by some years of business expansion, and brought us into a second depression. The statistical records of the Board reflect these changes. During the earlier part of this ten-year period the Board was busy studying its problem and issuing its orders, so that the records gathered at that time are not so complete as in more recent years. We have chosen factory employment from 1926 to 1930, inclusive, as a section at once definite, compact and typical of general conditions, and herewith present some figures and facts which tell the story of four years of rapid advance followed by a year of recession. The picture so shown may be taken as exceptionally full and accurate. Female factory workers in 1926 43,242 1927 45,416 1928 50,118 " " 1929 53,461 1930 50,069 Thus employment has fallen 6.7 per cent, during the last year. Yet it is as high in 1930 as in 1928, and four per cent, higher than in the average of the four years 1926-1929. However, these figures do not tell the full story of unemployment, as many whose names are reported on the pay rolls have been working short time. No statistics are obtainable as to the proportion of full time which they have been working. In detail, girls under eighteen have been dropped in larger proportion than adults. As between these two classes this is the better arrangement, for fewer young girls are away from home. The proportion of married women at work is larger. This is in line with a tendency which has been evident in recent years. Doubtless, it also shows that some wives have gone to work when their husband's jobs failed. The women's trades, on the whole, suffer less than the men's trades in times of depression. [5] 6 THE REPORT OF THE No. 38 Wage levels have been maintained. Indeed, more gains than losses are reported. This is quite surprising in view of the fact that wage rates have heretofore fallen in times of unemployment. We believe that this is in part due to the enforcement of our orders, in part to the desire of employers to pay decent wages, and in part to their desire to support the buying power of the general public, a consideration which the Board has always stressed. If the depression should end without wage levels having been lowered the workers will be fortunate and the general resumption of business activity will be accelerated. Cost of Living Budget The budget for an independent working woman in Toronto, as revised in October, 1930, representing the lowest wage upon which she can support herself, is as follows : Item October, 1930 Cost per year Board and lodging at $7.00 per week $364 00 Clothing: Footwear and repairs, 3 pairs $5.00, $4.00, $4.00; bedroom slippers, $1.25, rubbers or goloshes, $3.00; repairs, $2.00 Stockings Underwear Nightgowns Costume slips and blouses Corsets and brassieres .

Durinj^ tlie first years of its operations it was able to include in this statement the returns of each successive year. Now, however, with ten years of activity behind us, we are forced to be content with less exhaustive statistics. It seems best to make the comparison between the first collection of returns and the latest. The two columns thus show, with two e.xceptions, wages and hours before the order went into force in contrast with the year 1930. The two exceptions are in the food and paper trades, each of which was subjected to a reclassification in 1925, which made it impracticable to exhibit such a contrast. Orders 34 (food) and 39 (paper) therefore show the two years 1926 and 1930. In these two cases there is no contrast between "before and after taking." Order No. 31 This order deals with laundries, dye-works and dry-cleaning establishments. It incorporates and supersedes Orders 1, 4 and 5.

The orders are printed on cards and posted in the several business establish- ments where they may be readily seen by the female employees. The Factory Inspectors report regularly as to their being properly displayed. C>)mplaints come in constantly, amounting to 350 during 1930. Every fortnight Mr. Burke, Chief Factory Inspector, meets with the Board for the review of the complaints. His aid and counsel have been extremely valuable. All the complaints have been satisfactorily dealt with. In addition, wage sheets are gathered from all the factories, laundries, hotels, millinery, hairdressers, etc., and from many stores, offices, etc. In all, 4,159 such re[)orts have been collected, giving particulars as to the wages of 70,888 women. These have been analyzed and any apparent lack of conformity with the orders taken up. In all 409 firms have been thus interrogated. In all these cases the wages in question have been either adjusted or satisfactorily explained. It has been several times suggested that this method is ineffective on the ground that the reports of employers are unreliable; that they can and do mis- inform us and thus continue to violate the law and escape detection. This Board replies that in over ten years it has had occasion to check these reports many times by questioning the workers concerned and has not yet found one such report which clearly misrepresented a wage-payment. There have been several instances which ref|uired investigation, but investigation has not jjroven the offence. One or two firms have withheld the names of certain workers and these firms have paid roundly for this omission. But we have found none who set down false figures. Such falsification would be extremely dangerous, ior the false statements would be of just those wages most likely to be complained of and investigated. These statements are signed by the employers and thus, in case of prosecution, a peculiarly damning piece of evidence would be in the hands of the Board. Moreover, these statements are usually prepared by the office staff, so that MINIMUM WAGE BOARD FOR 1930 39 the (liHoplioii would iiuoKc a coiifedtMatf, and a confederate whose sNiiipathies would naturally be with the fellow-wt)rkers thus cheated. llowe\'er, our experience of the employers of Ontario leads us to believe til. It it is not chiefh' the fear of detection which makes these reports reliable. We have met them numerousK-, in conferences and in our work t)f inspection, and ha\e foimd them to dilfer widely from one another in many ways, but to be essentially honourable and trustworthy in all their dealings with us. Further, personal attention is ^iven to such cases as require it. Toronto, as the largest cit>', takes most attention, and visits ha\e also been paid to Aurora, (loderich, (inelph, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, Lindsa\', London, Meaford, Niagara I'alls, Ottawa, Owen .Sound, St. Catharines, St. Thomas, Stratford, Trenton, I'xbridge, Weston, Waterloo and Windsor. Mr. H. G. Fester has gi\en nuich time to this work and it is largely because of his efforts that the sharpest tlitticullies have been amicably resoKed. The character and volume of our correspondence is thus shown: Dictated letters 2,754 Letters received 1 ,662 Orders sent out 1 ,94^ Form letters sent out 7,729 Question forms sent out 5,690 Collection of Arre.vrs The Board has collected arrears due a number of workers, as follows: Firms concerned 57 Employees concerned 67 Amount collected $2,425 21 Largest ainoinit to any worker 250 00 Smallest amount to any worker 1 00 Average amount 36 18 Other amounts have also been collected of which the particulars have not been reported. The amounts of arrears collected year by year are: 1923 $1,706 60 1927 $6.60102 1924 1,017 68 1928 7,384 15 1925 7,296 75 1929 1,349 47 1926 4,899 31 1930 2,425 21 The Board does not measure its success by the ciuantity of arrears collected. It aims at such an observance of its standards of wages that there shall be no arrears to collect. Until this perfect condition is attained it regards the pay- tnent of arrears as a wholesome discipline for offending firms, and a method of recouping its clients for earnings of which they have been unjustly deprived. It will be noted that the arrears for the year 1930, while somewhat more than for the preceding year, are much reduced from earlier years, in spite of the fact that more workers are concerned and that the administration has become more active. We take this as an evidence that the wage standards set in our orders increasingly prevail. Permits The permits in force are shown in the following table. They are so few as not to affect the general standards of wages, while allow'ing for a desirable flexibility in administration, and saving a number of handicapped women from dismissal. 40 THE REPORT OF THE No. 38 Number of firms to whom issued 68 Number of permits expired 41 Number now in force 153 (a) For handicapped workers 126 (b) Re proportion of experienced workers 12 (c) Special apprenticeship 9 id) Others 6 Other Matters Three new orders were issued during the year; increasing the minimum wage in the laundries, dye workers and dry cleaning establishments in Toronto; including regulation of hours in retail stores in Toronto; and covering custorh tailor shops in the five largest cities. The Board wishes to acknowledge the sympathy and co-operation it has received from organized labour, from employers generally, and from the public. We are encouraged to believe that our work is in keeping with its object, to enable a w^orking woman to live from her work, and has thus won such wide- spread approval and support. Since the fiscal year closed one of our members, Mrs. Lydia M. Parsons, has been called hence by death. Our sense of loss and grief is expressed in a minute which we have attached to this report: "The Minimum Wage Board wishes to record its appreciation of the worth and work of its late member, Mrs. Lydia M. Parsons, whose sudden death occurred on Sunday, February 8th, 1931. She had been a member of this Board from its inception, and always faithful to its purpose. While a repre- sentative of the employers and true to their interests, she was also a sincere and devoted friend of the working women of Ontario. She brought to her duties an uncommon equipment of experience and ability. She had travelled widely, was deeply read, was an excellent speaker, and had a wide circle of friends not only in Canada but in Britain and Europe. She was active in many things. During the great war, to which she sent three sons, she was one of the foremost in women's organizations and in recruiting. She had been a leading spirit and a trusted official in the Women's Institutes, the Canadian Authors' Club, the National Council of Women and the Girl Guides. She had represented the Provincial Government in immigration campaigns in England. She had attended as a Canadian representative international conferences of women in Geneva, Vienna and other old-world centres. Besides these more formal activities, she had taken a part in many other movements and carried on a succession of private kindnesses. She was tireless in good works, sacrificing herself always for others. During her ten years' membership on this Board the other members learned to regard her with admiration and affection. Her unfailing courage in the face of difficulties, her persistent labours in spite of failing health, her ready response to any appeal of friendship or need, her pleasant disposition and her genuineness of character won all our friendship. We offer our deep sympathy to her surviving children, for their loss is also our loss, and we share with them the treasure of a bright and lasting memory." J. W. Macmillan, Chairniaji.

The road and bridge work carried out b\' the Department of Northern De\elopment under the aixne Act is confined to the Electoral Districts of Sturgeon Falls, Sudbur>', Manitoulin, Algoma, Sault Ste. Marie, Temiskaming, Cochrane South, Cochrane North, Port Arthur, Fort William, Rainy River and Kenora, and that portion of the Electoral District of Nipissing lying north of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and to certain main roads in the Electoral Districts of Muskoka. Parr>- Sound, Renfrew North and that part of Nipissing King south of the C.P.R. Organization Ten District Engineers, with headquarters as designated by Roman numerals I to X under the head of "District Reports," supervise the expenditure and work in the sixteen electoral ridings. There are several assistant engineers, instrument men and inspectors assisting the District Engineers. Construction Construction is mostly by day labour though some grading and nearh' all the better type of surfacing is done by contract. In some districts ditching Finished Retread Surfacing and clearing of right-of-way were done by station work. Several isolated settle- ments w^ere given an outlet by the opening up of new roads. Where traffic has increased rapidly during the past several years main roads were relocated, rebuilt, and widened as necessary. Many new bridges were erected and several [5] REPORT OF THE No. 41 old ones replaced by more permanent structures. Metal culverts of proper lengths and diameter were used to replace many of the old wooden culverts and small, narrow bridges. Maintenance A total of 3,740 miles of trunk and secondary trunk roads were kept in good shape during the entire season by the use of power graders of various types, drags, and team graders. A remarkable improvement on the most heavily travelled roads was noticeable during the tourist season. Ferries Several ferries owned and operated by the Department were kept in good condition and gave constant service. Those operated by individual owners also had a successful season. Contracts On the Ferguson Highway across the Townships of Perry and Armour, ten miles of clearing, stumping and grading were completed. On the Pembroke-Mattawa Road, which is now considered part of the Trans-Canada Highway, twenty miles of new road were built to a width of thirty feet from Petawawa camp westerly, two railway crossings being eliminated. On the Cochrane-Hearst road 11.5 miles were built west of Opasatika. On the Nipigon Highway easterly from the city limits of Port Arthur, ten miles of 3-inch consolidated bituminous retread 20 feet wide were laid. On the Pembroke-Mattawa Road westerly from the town of Pembroke, ten miles of 3-inch consolidated bituminous retread 20 feet wide were laid. Stock Pile of Rock for Retread Surfacing On the Ferguson Highway from Severn to Gravenhurst, a strip one foot wide and nine inches deep of consolidated bituminous retread was laid on each side of the 18-foot pavement a distance of 9.7 miles. Between Gravenhurst and Bracebridge the 3-inch bituminous retread surface. 20 feet wide, commenced in 1929, was extended 3.95 miles. Between Bracebridge and Huntsville, 18.9 miles of 3-inch bituminous retread surface, 20 feet wide, were laid. From the town limits of Huntsville north 3.8 miles of bituminous retread were laid. NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT FOR 1930 On the Kirklaiui Lake-Swastika Road 3.46 miles of 3-iiich consolidated blatk-hase surface were laid after scarifying, resha[)inji and rollinj^ the sub-grade. Several bridge contracts were completed — the largest being the work at the southerly entrance to Bracebridge on the Ferguson Highway, consisting of two 45-f()ot spans, one KSO-foot span and one 60-foot span steel and concrete structures along with an IH-foot concrete subway, a 360-foot retaining wall ha\ing an average height of 12 feet, and 560 feet of 6-foot concrete sidewalk. Main Trunk Roads The construction, improvement and maintenance of 1,472 miles of main trunk roads is entirely supervised and the cost borne by the Department. Assistance is given to the cities, towns and villages through which these roads pass. Some of the more important ones being the Ferguson Highway from Severn to Cochrane; the Cochrane-Hearst Road which was opened late in the season; the Pembroke-North Bay Road, and the North Bay-Sudbury-Sault Ste. Marie Road, all in Northeastern Ontario; while in Northwestern Ontario are the Nipigon Highway, the International Highway, the Fort Frances-Rainy River Road, the Kenora-Fort Frances Road (of which 50 miles remain to be constructed), the Kenora-Manitoba Boundary Road, and the Vermilion-D>ment Road. Over 200 miles of these roads were widened to 30 feet. Statute Labour Township Roads In townships having Statute Labour Commissioners there are over 1,100 miles of road towards which the contribution is dollar for dollar, and in addition to this many direct grants are given. Settlers Roads In townships having no organization whatever there are over 1,435 miles of road. In many of these townships roads were opened during the year at no cost to the settlers, many of whom were given employment on the work. Mining Camp Roads Roads to mining camps both in surveyed and unsurveyed territory received all possible attention. Municipal Agreements — Organized Township Roads Most of the townships which are organized operate under a municipal agreement towards which the Government contribution is 50 per cent, for overseer and road work and 25 per cent, for machinery. In these townships there are over 3,100 miles of road, and a report of this work for the season is given in tabulated form. Railway Crossings Every effort is being made to eliminate level railway crossings by relocating and building new sections of main roads, and the construction of subways and overheads. REPORT OF THE No. 41 Weeds Co-operation was given the Department of Agriculture in many munici- palities in removing harmful weeds. Right-of- Way Clearing Many miles of road were beautified by the removal and burning of stumps and brush from the sides of the road. Signs Attention was paid to removing old types of signs and replacing them with standard highway signs. The old standard signs were repainted. Guard- Rails On all fills, where necessary, guard rails were erected. Posts of uniform size, creosoted and painted white at the top, were used with two lines of ^-inch galvanized cable. Many of the old guard rail posts were repainted. Drainage Special attention was paid to drainage; larger size ditches being constructed and creeks cleaned out to provide proper outlets. In Rainy River District a large ditching machine was operated during the season with a view to providing a complete drainage system for the roads. Purchase of Machinery, Equipment and Materials Canadian firms, nearly all located in Ontario, were given preference when placing orders. Gravel and stone was purchased locally in each district. Work Reports A tabulated statement attached hereto gives details of the work during the year. District Reports No. I — Muskoka and Parry Sound — K. Rose, Huntsville In this district certain trunk roads only come under the jurisdiction of the District Engineer. The major construction of the year was on the Ferguson Highway — 23 miles of 30-foot roadway, 10 concrete bridges up to 40-foot span, and one 96-foot and one 140-foot steel and concrete structures being constructed, and retread pene- tration surface placed on 26.55 miles, together with the diversion in the Town of Bracebridge, which included the bridge over the Muskoka River, consisting of two 45-foot spans, one 150-foot span, and one 60-foot span steel and concrete structures, and an 18-foot concrete subway. In connection with the Muskoka River Bridge, 360 feet of retaining wall of an average height of 12 feet, and NORTH KRN DEVELOPMENT FOR 1930 560 feet of 6-f<)ot sidewalk were constructed. Ten miles of the above construction was done under contract, and the balance by day labour. In addition the shoulders were built up, and the curves elevated on 41 miles, preparatory to placing retread surface. The section from Huntsville to Emsdale, 16 miles, was treated with oil immediately after being gravelled, and {proved very satisfactory. Thirty-seven thousand three hundred and eighty-five lineal feet of standard cable guard rail were erected, and 182,703 cubic yards of gravel hauled — 1 28, 64.S cubic >ards of which were placed on the Ferguson Highway and 54,058 cubic yards on the lateral trunk roads. Ferguson Highway Southerly Entrance to Bracebridge The road from Parry Sound to Nobel, a distance of approximately seven miles, was straightened and w^idened to 24 feet, all rocky points and hummocks being eliminated, and gravelled. Maintenance included the continual patrol of 386 miles of trunk road for the full season. No. II, Nipissing, Sturgeon Falls and Renfrew North — G. A. White, North Bay Nipissing — The work in this district included a seal coat over the eight miles of bituminous macadam between North Bay and Callander; rebuilding three miles of the North Bay-Sturgeon Falls Road; opening up one and a half miles of new trunk road; side-brushing 86 miles; gravelling and general main- tenance and building a standard 30-foot concrete bridge over Duchesney Creek. Sturgeon Falls — On the main trunk road between North Bay and Sudbury in this district, besides the constant maintenance, the following improvements were made: one and one-half miles rebuilt, three and one-half miles widened, and a steel and concrete bridge, 50-foot span, erected over Deer Creek. In Martland Township two 150-foot span timber bridges were built. Field-Martin River Road, five miles of new road were graded. Hager-St. Charles Road, two miles were graded. Other work consisted of cutting and burning 18 miles; side-brushing 61 miles; stumping and grubbing 8 miles; cutting grass and weeds 39 miles, and digging 27 miles of ditches. 10 REPORT OF THE No. 41 Renfrew North — From Pembroke west il miles of retread 20 feet wide were laid on improved road, thence 23 miles of road were constructed 30 feet wide by contract. The Bisset Creek bridge approaches were completed by placing guard rails and fencing. The Pembroke-Mattawa Road was constantly maintained and 48 miles of it side-brushed and burned. Surveys included 53 miles of preliminary and 23 miles of final location. No. Ill, Sudbury and Manitoulin — E. J. Hosking, Sudbury Sudbury District — The following is a list of the principal expenditures made in this district: North Bay-Sudbury Road — Building three and one-half miles of diversion from the boundary of Hagar and Rutter west, with the exception of rock cuts, which were held over for winter construction work. Soo-Sudburv Trunk Road 12 Miles East of Sault Ste. Marie Sudbury-Chelmsford: Rebuilding by constructing a base one foot thick of crushed rock and field stone, covering this with clay, and gravelling eight miles. Sudbury-Capreol Road: Rebuilding three and one-half miles of road by putting in a base of field stone and covering with clay and gravel. Sudbury-Soo Road: Widening 10 miles to 30 feet wide from Copper Cliff Station west. Chapleau-Devon Road extension: Cutting, burning, grubbing and grading, and partly gravelling, five miles. One 45-foot span steel and concrete bridge was built o\er the Whitson Creek, on the Sudbury-Chelmsford Road. Manitoulin District — The principal expenditures in this district were on the Little Current-Espanola Road where some 14 miles of crushed rock fines were hauled and spread on the road, and a certain amount of widening on the section across LaCloche Island. Little Current-Gore Bay Road: Some three or four miles of this road were widened to 24 feet, not continuously, but in places where the road was narrowest and most dangerous. NORTHERN DKVHLOPMENT FOR 1929 11 One mile was widened in the Township of Shej- were chiefly engaged in finishing and gra\elling, the road was extended two and one-half miles and 16 miles of tote road were cut in preparation for further construction. ^m ^'[-n Winter Construction Camp Kenora to Manitoba Boundary section of the Trans-Canada Highway: Ten and one-half miles of right-of-way were cut and burned and seven and one-half miles of road were built, leaving approximately eight miles yet to build before the boundary is reached. One hundred and eighty-one miles out of 535 miles of road in this district was under maintenance patrol. As the summary indicates, great progress is being made in the connecting up of the various settlements. Considerable work was also done under the Municipal Agreements and on the 50-50 basis with Statute Labour Commissions. No. X, Rainy River District — A. M. Mills, Fort Frances. The Fort Frances-Kenora Road was extended to Nester Falls. This was the largest job in the district. A new diversion was made south of Log River eliminating a very sharp curve. Sixteen miles were covered with new gravel. The road from Off Lake to Clearwater Lake was completed and gravelled. There was hea\y tourist traffic over this road. The Fort Frances-Rainy River Trunk Road was not only constantly patrolled but improved by being straightened and widened. Eight right-angled turns were eliminated by the construction of suitable curves. Only 10 miles of this road remain to be widened. 16 REPORT OF THE No. 41 The large ditching machine was operated continuously from early in July, opening up five miles of drainage channels, not only reducing the cost of main- tenance of the roads but also improving adjacent farm lands. The mileage of road constantly maintained was 378 miles out of a total of 793 miles. Dining Room Interior, Winter Construction Sleep Camp Interior, Winter Construction Creameries The assistance in the development of dairying in Northern Ontario was continued by the Department by paying the salaries of buttermakers during the season at the creameries established at Cochrane, Larocque, Matheson, Ramore, Port Arthur, Lee Valley and Webbwood. The expenditure in this connection amounted to $4,883.95. NORTHERN DEVEQPMENT FOR 1930 \7 Seed Grain The demand for seed j>;rain fell off durinji 1930 coni{)ared with that of 1929. The seed distributed amounted to: oats 8,745 bushels, wheat 6783/^ bushels, barley 1,926 bushels. Total expenditure $14,453.40. The crops generally were very good and the harvestinjj conditions excellent in each District, with the exception of Teniiskaming, where, owing to the very wet season experienced, crops did not do as well as usual and a cjuantity of grain was not harvested. The applicants were very well satisfied with the seed supplied. As in the previous year the Alaska oats did exceptionally well in the north, about 8,000 bushels being supplied, this being largely in excess of the pre\i()us \ear. In the west the farmers prefer the western oats, the question of price being the consideration. Cattle Purchase During 1930 four carloads comprising 73 dairy cows of registered and high grade quality were purchased for resale to settlers, at a total cost of 89,198.78. These were shipped to the Sudbury (14) and Cochrane (59) Districts, and gave e\ery satisfaction. The monthly repa\ments are being well kept up and during the year amounted to 89,790.84, principal and interest. Jas. Sinton, Chief Engineer, Department of Northern Development, Ontario.

Fort William, was found dead in his taxi on Arthur Street about six miles froiu Fort William. 20 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 death having been caused by a bullet wound in the forehead. The matter was investigated by the members of this Force, assisted by the Fort William local police, and extensive enquiries made throughout Canada and the United States, but so far we have not been successful in bringing Berglund's murderer to justice. Louis C. Miller, Chippewa On January 28th, 1930, the dead body of Louis C. Miller was found in his bungalow on Chippewa Creek. Death had been caused from a gun shot wound in the neck. The matter was investigated by Inspectors of the Criminal Investi- gation Branch and our District Headquarters Ofificers, Niagara Falls. As a result, Steve Ruich was arrested and charged with murder and committed for trial. At his trial the grand jury returned a verdict of no bill. Mrs. Everton Switzer, Bear Lake On January 28th, 1930, Joseph Norman surrendered to County Constable Dovell and stated that he had murdered Mrs. Switzer with an axe and had then set fire to the dwelling. Enquiries proved that his story was correct when the charred body of Mrs. Switzer was found in the ruins of her home. Norman was arrested by Provincial Constable \\'arren and charged with murder. At his trial the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter and he was sentenced to seventeen years in Kingston Penitentiary. Joseph Kameon, Wallacehurg On January 30th, 1930, Francis Vandevelde, Hollander, was arrested and held for enquiry regarding the disappearance of Joseph Kameon, also a Hol- lander, on whose farm Vandevelde was found to be living and whose watch he was wearing. Very extensive enquiries were made by the members of this Force assisted by the local police, it being generally believed that Kameon had been murdered and his body disposed of, but it was not until April 9th, 1930, that Kameon's body was found under a manure pile in the yard of the farm. As a result Vandevelde was charged with murder, convicted and sentenced to be hanged on December 23rd, 1930. Mrs. Mary Campbell and Lily Campbell, St. Joseph Island On April Uth, 1930, Andrew Simons shot and killed Mrs. Mary Campbell and her seventeen year old daughter Lily at their farm on St. Joseph Island. After killing the two women Simons shot himself through the head and died immediately. At the inquest the jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Campbell and Lily Campbell died from being shot by a rifle in the hands of Andrew Simons, who then died by his own hand. Enquiries showed that this tragedy was caused through Simons' jealousy over the girl, Lily Campbell. Marion Tweedle, Binbrooke. On May 12th, 1930, Marion Tweedle, Binbrooke, was shot and killed by one William Topp, also of Binbrooke. 1930 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE 21 Topp had visited the Tweedle farm at 0 p.m., May 11th, regarding a mort- gage held by Emery Tweedle and remained until 2 a.m., May 12th, leaving supposedly for home. A sliort time after Topp left the house, someone knocked at the tloor, and when Emery Tweedle opened it he was shot by Topp. A cousin, Marion Tweedle, went to the telephone for assistance. She was also shot by Topp. She ran outside and fell dead. Emery Tweedle was taken to a hospital and Toj)p disappeared into the country. An investigation was commenced by the Hamilton Headcjuarters, assisted by the Wentworth County Police, and the b()d>- of Topj) was found at 5.30 p.m. same day at the rear of his father's barn. He e\identl\- had committed suicide by shooting himself with a twelve bore shot gun. Kalle Piikki, Lumber Camp, Temiskaming On June 2Uth, 1930, Kalle Pukki, and Ole Maki, ^inlanders, quarreled at their camp and Pukki died from stab wounds in the stomach inflicted by Maki. Maki was arrested by members of this Force and charged with murder. At his trial the jury disagreed and a new trial was ordered, such trial to take place at the spring assizes, 1931. Charles Tiioimen, Dobie Township On June 27th, 1930, Charles Tuoimen, Finlander, was shot and killed on the farm of Mrs. Luoma by Jacob Luoma, fourteen year old son of the ow^ner. It appears that the boy, under the impression that he was going to be chastised by Tuoimen, borrowed a gun from a neighbour and lay in wait for Tuoimen and shot him. Luoma was arrested and charged with murder which charge was later reduced to manslaughter. He was found guilty and sentenced to fifteen months determinate and three months indeterminate at the Fort William Industrial Farm. Morton Johnson, Htirkett On July 2nd, 1930, Simon Collins, Indian, shot and killed Morton Johnson on the railway right-of-way at the Village of Hurkett and then took to the bush. As a result of very extensive searches by the members of this Force assisted by the settlers, Collins was arrested by Provincial Constable Blair hiding in the bush. He was charged with murder of Johnson and at his trial the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter and he was sentenced to fifteen years in the Stoney Mountain Penitentiary. Philip C. Rumbold, Port Credit On July 22nd, 1930, at about 7.30 a.m. the dead body of a man was found in an automobile on Mineola Road, Toronto Township. The body was on the seat with his hands tied behind his back, rope around his neck, tightened with a bar of solder, and the left side of his head crushed in w4th a hammer. Enquiries showed the body to be that of Philip Rumbold of Tonawanda, New York, United States of America, who had the day before left home for a fishing trip in Canada and whose movements were traced to Hamilton. The whole available resources of this Department assisted by local police forces in this Province and in L^nited States have been engaged in trying to bring to justice those responsible for this murder, but so far without success. 22 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 Mrs. Catherine Richardson , Point Edward On July 9th, Mrs. Catherine Richardson died from poisoning at her home at Point Edward. As a result of investigations made Mrs. Mary Richardson, a daughter-in-law, was arrested and charged with the murder of her mother-in- law by administering poison. She was committed for trial on August 8th, 1930, and on Thursday, August 14th, at 7 a.m., Mary Richardson was found dead in her cell at the County Gaol. As a result of an autopsy it was found that she had died from natural causes. Mrs. Rocco Perri, Hamilton On August 13th, 1930, at about 11.30 p.m., Mrs. Rocco Perri was shot and killed as she was going from her garage to her dwelling house at 166 Bay Street South, Hamilton, by shots from a double barrelled shot gun in the hands of some unknown person. Members of the Criminal Investigation Branch of this Force have assisted the Hamilton authorities in an endeavour to locate and apprehend those respons- ible for this murder, but so far without success. Lawrence E. Doten and Lawrence C. Jones, United States Immigration Agents, Fort Frances. On August 24th, 1930, Emery Frenette held up the train crew of Canadian National train west of Fort Frances and shot and killed United States Immi- gration Officers Lawrence E. Doten and Lawrence C. Jones, he being under the impression that they were police officers, as at the time he was escaping from the police of Fort Frances. When information was received by members of this Force, combined efiforts were made to effect Frenette's apprehension. He was traced to a farm house where he took refuge and commenced to fire upon his pursuers. He was evidently badly wounded by rifle fire and his death took place six hours later in the hospital. An inquest was held and the jury returned a verdict that Frenette came to his death at the hospital at Emo from gun shot wounds whilst resisting arrest and the police and those assisting were exonerated from all blame. Police Constable F. McNicoll, Croivland On September 3rd in answer to a call for police assistance from 84 6th Street, Crowland, Police Constable McNicoll of the Crowland Police Force responded. He was met by Joseph Kovach, Hungarian, with a shot gun. Kov^ach discharged the shot gun at McNicoll's head, killing him instantly. Our office at Welland was notified and Provincial Constables Finger and Peel located Kovach in the cellar of the above address. He was arrested, charged, and convicted of murder but appealed and obtained a new trial, which trial has not yet been held. Sydney Herbert McKee, Coniston On September 9th, Mrs. Eugenie McKee of Coniston, Ontario, killed her husband, Sydney Herbert McKee, by striking him with a stove lifter. Mrs. McKee was arrested, and charged with murder, which charge was eventually reduced to manslaughter. At the trial the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. 1930 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE 23 Ernest Gatien, Cornwall On June 10th, Ernest Gatien, Cornwall, Ontario, was struck on the head by an oar wielded by Louis Jocko, Indian, Cornwall Island, (iatien died the next day. Jocko was arrested on the Indian Reserve and charged with murder. At his trial October 29th, the jury disagreed and a new trial was ordered which has not yet taken place. ATTEMPTED MURDER On the evening of July 30th, 1930, Provincial Constable W. Bertrand was checking up on the illegal sale of liquor from rowboats on the St. Lawrence River at Flannigan's Point near Cornwall. Bertrand had taken hold of one boat at the edge of the river when the occupant murderously attacked him with an oar, inflicting severe injuries to his head and arm which necessitated hospital treatment. As a result of an investigation by the Cornwall Detachment, Francis Jacob, an Indian, was arrested and on October 30th, 1930, sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary for the attempted murder of Bertrand whilst engaged in the execution of his duties. On the morning of June 30th, 1930, at 4 a.m., Charles R. Rowe of Toronto was shot by an unknown man with a shot gun as he was walking from the garage to the house of his brother, William E. Rowe, at Newton Robinson, Ontario. The shot took effect between the shoulder and elbow of the right arm. The investigation was handled by the Criminal Investigation Branch assisted by Barrie District Headquarters, which resulted in one Gordon Bradley being arrested and charged with attempted murder. He is now awaiting trial. ROBBERIES, THEFTS, ETC. On October 29th, 1929, the branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia at Brussels was robbed by two men who got away with approximately $5,000.00. As a result of investigations by the Kitchener District Officers, assisted by the Criminal Investigation Branch, two men are now awaiting trial charged with the robbery. On Saturday, November 30th, 1929, George Clay, teller at the branch of the Bank of Montreal, Amherstburg, absconded with approximately $4,500.00 bank funds. He and an accomplice, Ronald Robinson, were later arrested in Buffalo and returned to this Province for trial. They were both convicted and sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary. On February 12th, 1930, Norman Small, taxi-driver, was assaulted and robbed of his money and taxi near Tillsonburg by George Crandall, John Bruner, Margaret Sherwood and Clara Gerard, all of Windsor. Our Dunnville Detach- ment was successful in arresting all four and recovering the taxi. All four were charged with robbery with violence. George Crandall and John Bruner were sentenced to ten years in Kingston Penitentiary and ten lashes and five years in Kingston Penitentiary and ten lashes, respectively. The two women were sentenced to six months each as vagrants. On March 28th, 1930, the home of M. Morris, Avon, Ontario, was burglarized and valuables stolen therefrom. The investigation, handled by the St. Thomas Detachment, resulted in the arrest of Peter Williams, who, at his trial on March 29th, was sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary. 24 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 On March 29th, 1930, at 11.30 p.m., James Reddick, storekeeper, Morris- burg, was assaulted and robbed whilst proceeding towards his home. As a result of an investigation carried out by the Morrisburg Detachment, assisted by Ottawa District Headquarters, James O'Mealley and Phil Castagner were arrested and charged with robbery with violence. At their trial they were convicted and sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary and ten lashes each. On March 27th, 1930, a radiogram was received at Gold Pines Detachment by Provincial Constable A. S. Ericksen from Mr. H. G. Young stating that a bale of furs valued at approximately 81,200.00 had been stolen from the Northern Transportation Company's bunk house at Red Lake, Ontario. Provincial Constable Ericksen immediately left Gold Pines by aeroplane (Western Canada Airwa\s) and on arriving at Red Lake he began an investiga- tion, secured a dog team and guide and conducted a number of searches north of Red Lake but without success. Later he returned to Red Lake and was joined by Provincial Constable Pike and finally they were successful in locating one David Brinton, who had come from a cabin across the lake to the town. Further investigations followed by searches discovered the bale of furs strapped to a toboggan about a mile from Red Lake. David Brinton and Frank Lee, Chinaman, were arrested on April 3rd, 1930, and transported to the Sioux Look- out lockup by aeroplane. On April 8th, 1930, Brinton appeared for trial charged with theft of furs, pleaded guilty, and sentenced to four years in Stoney Mountain Penitentiary. Lee was charged with receiving stolen goods and given two years suspended sentence. The furs were returned to the owners, the Hudson Bay Company, in good condition. This was exceptionally good work under very trying conditions. Mike Kwasick, John Craig and William Millard were convicted at St. Thomas May 1st, 1930, for shopbreaking and theft, in which the safe at the P.M.R.R. Depot was blown, and all sentenced to five years in Kingston Peni- tentiary. This investigation was handled most creditably by the St. Thomas Detachment who did some very outstanding work to obtain the evidence on which these prisoners were convicted. Chris and William Smith of Niagara Falls were charged at Niagara with a series of thefts from summer cottages and tourist camps during the past summer. They were both found guilty on September 23rd, William Smith being sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary and Chris Smith to one year definite and two years indefinite in the Ontario Reformatory. A large quantity of the stolen goods were recovered. William Wucker, Simcoe, was charged with a series of robberes and thefts in Norfolk County on August 14th, 1930. This investigation was handled by our Simcoe Detachment and resulted in Wucker being convicted and sentenced to four years in Kingston Penitentiary. He is still awaiting trial on further charges under section 295, Criminal Code. On July 16th, 1930, Provincial Constable Robbie of Queenston followed a Ford sedan to the crest of the hill at Queenston Heights where he overtook the car in which were two men suspected of being pickpockets. As the officer ap- proached the right front seat of the car to make the arrest the occupant sitting beside the driver opened the door and kicked him in the chest with both feet. The door closed and the car began to back down the hill. Despite the brutal 1930 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE 25 attack made on the officer he managed to c limh thrc^ugh the o{)en window and during the struggle which took place the front seat gave way, the driver losing control of the car which crashed against a tree. The force of the impact opened the rear left door, and the driver of the car escaped when the officer released his hold on him to turn off the ignition. The prisoner who assaulted the officer in the first instance and later ideiilihed as Thomas Laverty, was arrested by Robbie and handcuffed. A number of purses, later identified by Toronto people, were found on him. Medical aid was summoned and on examination it was learned that the officer had suffered five fractured ribs in addition to lacerations on the body. On August 5th, 1930, Laverty was charged with assault, robbery, and having in his possession narcotics, to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years less one day on the assault and robbery charge, eighteen months plus a fine of S200.00 and costs or an additional three months under the Opium and Drug Act, all sentences to run concurrently. The driver of the car, Claude Pierson. was later arrested by the Hamilton City Police, identified by Robbie and charged with assault on September 2nd, 1930, to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in Portsmouth Penitentiary. On May 29th, 1930, a search for recovery of stolen goods was conducted at the premises known as 1625 Giles Boulevard, Windsor, Ontario, and a quantity of goods recovered valued at approximately 83,500.00, alleged to have been stolen from summer homes in Puce and Belle River District. Five revolvers were also seized found hidden in the furnace. IVIrs. Mary Folsom, Miss Bebe Duprey, Charles Zenkauskas (alias Smith) wanted at Waterbury, Conn., U.S.A. for bank robbery, Alfred Robinette, Clarence Jacobs, and Albert Jacobs were arrested and on July 3rd, 1930, appeared for preliminary hearing charged with receiving stolen goods. The charge against Albert Jacobs was dismissed and the remaining five prisoners were committed for trial and on October 23rd, 1930, found guilty and sentenced on October 28th, 1930, as follows: Charles Zenkauskas — fourteen years in Kingston Penitentiary. Clarence Jacobs — seven years in Kingston Penitentiary. Alfred Robinette — seven years in Kingston Penitentiary. Miss Bebe Duprey and Mrs. Mar>- Folsom — two years suspended sentence. Charles Zenkauskas, while in custody in the Essex County Gaol, attempted to commit murder in an endeavour to effect a general gaol delivery, and at the Criminal Assizes he was charged with conspiracy to commit murder which was reduced to conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and he was sentenced to seven years in Kingston Penitentiary, all sentences to run concurrently. On February 5th, 1930, at Newburgh, Ontario, Provincial Constable F. \V. Barrett of Napanee commenced an investigation into a series of cases of breaking, entering, and theft, in the eastern part of the Province. During the course of investigation evidence was unearthed which required the assistance of the Criminal Investigation Branch and officers of this Force practically throughout the whole southern section of the Province. Assisted by Toronto and other municipal Police, goods were recovered which were stolen from the follow^ing towns and cities: Newburgh, Tamworth, Centreville, Camden East, Cobourg, Brighton, Coldwater, Acton, Port Perry, Allandale, Oshawa, Whitby, Toronto and Beaverton, resulting in the arrest of a notorious gang of criminals. On February 18th, 1930, James Walker (alias Lee, Wilson, Coulter) was arrested along w^ith one Mrs. Florence Shane. On November 4th, 1930, Russell Perrin, Claudia Orindi (alias Digo, alias Blackeyed Diamond, common-law wife of 26 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 Perrin) were arrested in Conneaut, Ohio, U.S.A., and returned to Toronto and remanded for trial. John Osborne, and Mrs. Gunn, were also arrested after being implicated by Mrs. Florence Shane. While awaiting trial, James Walker broke gaol at Napanee on February 25th, 1930, and was later arrested in Winni- peg. He was returned to Napanee on June 4th, 1930, and on June 5th, 1930, appeared for trial on six charges of theft and sentenced to a total of twelve years in Kingston Penitentiary. On June 6th, 1930, Florence Shane, appeared charged with theft, and given five years suspended sentence. In all, Wilson and Shane were responsible for thirty-six cases of theft in the Province. While awaiting transfer to the Penitentiary, Wilson again broke gaol at Napanee on June 28th, 1930, and was later arrested at Lethbridge, Alberta. He was charged with theft in Lethbridge and given a six months sentence. Arrangements have been completed with the Alberta ofificials whereby Wilson will serve his penitentiary term, given in Ontario, in Alberta at the termination of his sentence there. Perrin was charged with theft as follows: Milton, Ontario, pleaded guilty and sentenced to two years less one day and two years indefinite; Brighton, four charges of theft and pleaded guilty and sentenced to eight years in Kingston Penitentiary, November 22nd, 1930; Napanee, Ontario, three charges of theft and sentenced to two years on each charge, sentences to run concurrent with previous sentences imposed.

On October 29th, 1930, John Osborne appeared for trial charged with receiving stolen goods and was sentenced to one year indeterminate. Mrs. Gunn appeared on the same charge and pleaded not guilty and the case was dismissed on July 4th, 1930. FRAUD R. J. Newton and A. E. Simpson, St. Thomas, were charged with conspiracy to defraud the St. Thomas Board of Education. The investigation was com- menced by our St. Thomas Detachment in October 1929, and resulted in both being sentenced to five years in Kingston Penitentiary. Morley Pettitt. Simcoe, was charged with fraud and theft of cattle in Norfolk County in June 1930. This investigation was very ably handled by our Simcoe Detachment, as a result Pettit was charged on ten counts, found guilty, and sentenced to five years in Kingston Penitentiary. This was a very gratifying clean-up as Pettit had been defrauding cattle dealers throughout the Province for years. THEFT OF POULTRY Reginald Schram of Walsingham, Ontario, was arrested and convicted of extensi\e poultry thefts in Norfolk County in October 1930, and sentenced to two years in Kingston Penitentiary.

Herewith I have the honour to respectfully submit for your information, consideration and approval, report covering the work of your Motorcycle Patrol in that period of the fiscal year during which we were privileged to act under your direction and command. Vou will please note that in no part does this report cover more than seven and a half months, the date of transfer from the Department of Highways to that of the Honourable the Attorney-General, being March 1 1th of this year, and in the item of mileage as covered by Constables in the patrol of details, figures cover only the period from May first (May 1st, 1930), the date from which constables were required to furnish this item for records under proper supervision of Area Inspectors. The strength of this patrol upon such assignment was in all seventy Highway Trafific Officers, two of whom were assigned to duties corresponding to those of Inspectors in Provincial Police, and one. the writer, to the duty of General Supervisor. The Province, in so far as the Provincial Highway system extends, was treated as a whole and direction was given from Headquarters in the East Block from which Headquarters the senior Traffic Officers, acting as Inspectors, worked, one east and one west. Reorganization Almost at once, under your direction, the Province was divided for purposes of traffic control, into three areas, designated as Central, Western, and Eastern, over each of which an Inspector of Provincial Police, Motorcycle Patrol, de- signated as "Area Inspector" was placed and subsequently stationed at a central point therein, and the whole made responsible to you through an Inspector in Charge, located at Headquarters. Your initial course in converting Traffic Officers into Provincial Constables with full powers under the Act governing such, has added greatly to the useful- ness and efficiency of this patrol, and has also, I believe, been in the general interest of law enforcement, making available this Motorcycle Force not only for better traffic control, but, also, for use wherever and whenever emergency arose. 28 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 As of November 1st, 1930, this patrol numbered eighty constables on duty and assigned to details over the twenty-eight hundred miles of improved King's Highway in older Ontario. Maximum strength of patrol attained in July of this year was eighty-six constables, with patrol Headquarters staff of Inspector in Charge and three Area Inspectors included. We have lost by dismissal for cause 1; by the granting of permission to resign 3; by voluntary resignation 5; and added by appointment 23. Summary Transferred from Department of Public Highways 67 Added by appointment 23 Total 90 Dismissed from service 1 Permitted to resign 3 \'oluntary resignation 5 Promoted to Area Inspector 1 — 10 Total duty strength, October 31st, 1930 80 The main duty of this patrol has been the control of trafific and we have had constantly in mind your instruction that this duty must always, in the absence of emergency, take precedence over all other work. In this connection, I have to report that in the given period, under provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, officers of this patrol have laid eight thousand nine hundred and forty-eight complaints; under Criminal Code two hundred and seventy-seven, and under the Liquor Control Act three hundred and seventy-six, giving a total of nine thousand six hundred and one prosecutions. Of this total, three hundred and seventy-five have been dismissed, being 96.09% of convictions registered. Two hundred and forty-five complaints were withdrawn. We have received, in fines, a total of ninety-two thousand eight hundred and forty-seven dollars and forty-one cents; the costs assessed in these cases totalling thirty-seven thousand seven hundred and sixty-two dollars and thirteen cents. Three hundred and seventeen convicted persons suffered suspension of Operator's License and a total of twenty-three years, eleven months and twenty-eight days have been served in gaol by two hundred and ten convicted persons. By the exercise of clear incisive judgment, two convicted persons were com- mitted to the Ontario Hospital for the Insane. This was particularly commend- able and will, I trust, have a salutory effect in bringing to attention of operators that it is within the jurisdiction of the Bench to have them examined as to mental fitness to operate automobiles. As a summary of work done under Liquor Control Act appears in the report as submitted to Chief Inspector F. E. Elliott, this item is not dealt with here as to detail. Please note correction in figures given by this office to Chief Inspec- tor Elliott.

Stolen Cars — Recovered ^'()U^ patrol has recovered and had returned to their rightful owners a total of one hundred and four stolen cars. In this connection may I point out that these cars were not stolen by the ordinary joy rider and left at points adjacent to large centres of population where they might be readily picked up within twenl>-four hours, but were largely cars which had been missing for some time. Under an arrangement made with your sanction as between Toronto Police Department and this patrol, we are now supplied with detail as to cars stolen and reported to Toronto Police Headquarters which have been unrecovered for a period of at least one week. I am confident that under this arrangement the cars recovered by your patrol will show a considerable increase in the current year. Summary Cars recovered and returned to owners 104 Accidents Accident prevention has been stressed and I believe that in this particular the work of this patrol is increasingly apparent. Under arrangement with the Department of Highways, sand, gravel, cinders, and other traction-giving mate- rial is made available for use at such points as may be designated by your constables on detail, and I wish to express here my keen appreciation of the efficient service rendered by that Department under the instruction of Chief Engineer Mr. A. A. Smith. It is impossible to estimate the saving and property value, or even of life, thus effected, but we may assume that the effort is assuredly worth while. This service is rendered by the Department of Highways through- out the system. It is further noted with appreciation that warning signs and road directions, and particularly the red reflector signs, have been erected invariably where the road is indirect, and the Department of Highways, through their Engineering Department, have extended every possible help in this connection. Over the period indicated, there have occurred seventeen hundred and thirteen accidents, with property damage only on the highways proper, and in the same period, eighty-five fatal accidents, in which ninety-nine persons have been killed. In addition, accidents at railways crossings numbered twenty-one in w^hich property damage only resulted, and three fatal, in which ten persons were killed. Summary Non-fatal accidents on Highwavs proper total 1,713 Fatal " " " ' " " 85 Number of persons killed " " " 99 Non-fatal accidents at Railway Crossings total 21 Fatal " " « " " 3 Number of persons killed " " " 10 30 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 Patrol of Highways In the patrol of highways by motorcycle, your constables have travelled a total mileage of one million, fifty-five thousand, and seven hundred and ninety-nine miles in the given period, and in addition, have travelled seventeen hundred and sixty miles by car. This latter item was not on patrol but largely in the necessary transport of prisoners, etc. The patrol thus carried out was, I am confident, a very great factor not only in accident prevention, but in the preserving of law and order on the highways. Summary Miles travelled by motor cycle on patrol total 1,055,799 Miles travelled by car total 1,760 Grand total 1,056,459 Please note that patrol mileage, as gi\'en, is as from May 1st only. Leave of Absence — Sick Leave Constables on your patrol are by policy and regulation allowed one day other than holidays, the day preceding or day following same, or week ends, off duty each week, so that not accounting for these days, leave of absence granted on account of injuries sustained in performance of duty total four hundred and twenty-nine and one-half days. Leave granted for sickness, other than injuries, total one hundred and two and one-half days, and leave of absence for other than injuries or sickness total sixty-seven and one-half days. The small total of time lost makes, I submit, a very creditable showing. Summary Leave granted on account injuries sustained 4293^ days Leave grante J on account sickness 1023/^ days Total 532 days Leave granted on account holidays 673'2 days Grand total 599^ days Disposition of Motorcycle Patrol L'nits Location of Details — Stations — Highway Mileage — Areas The Highway system of older Ontario, extending over Highway No. 2 from Windsor to the Quebec boundary, with parallel branch and feeder systems and designated as King's Highways, covers approximately two thousand eight hundred miles. This mileage we have divided into details for purposes of patrol, these details following wherever possible county boundary lines, and this year numbering eighty, to eight of which we have never been able to assign constables because of shortage of men. As the assignment of the necessary men to night patrol had also to be met from the limited number available, great care had to be exercised to meet the traffic requirements on outside details, these men being drawn therefrom of 1930 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE 31 necessity, and the additional mileage had to be assigned to adjoining details, sometimes over the protest of users of these roads. In addition, following your reasonable instruction, your patrol has met all demands presented for special escorts (funerals, parades, etc.,) over the Highways where such service was required to insure the safe and free movement of traffic, and again, owing to under strength, the demands of this special service were met by depleting regular details of the constables assigned thereto. The night patrol, applying this year on Highway No. 11, to Richmond Hill, No. 2 to Oshawa on the East and No. 2 to Hamilton on the West, No. 5 to Hamilton, No. 2 vicinity Windsor, and No. 8 vicinity Niagara Falls, has proven to be amply warranted and given splendid returns, even apart from the regulation of traffic in the check of movements of cars engaged illegally in the transport of liquor and in use contrary to the Criminal Code in other respects. May I suggest to you. Sir, that this service should be maintained in the current year and at your discretion extended to cover Highways in vicinity of large cities not now in this service, as before the adoption of this plan, an undue burden was placed on constables on regular detail on account of night calls to accidents, etc., which worked to the detriment of the service rendered by these men in regular hours of duty. In order to cover adequately the details now laid out and night patrol, limited as in this period, a minimum strength of ninety men is necessary, and this number of men will not provide for replacements where injury occurs to constables necessitating absence from duty or for special calls for emergent purposes. In the best interests of the service, I look forward to the shortening of details as now constituted, but only when the additional men required are assigned and available for service in this patrol. Summary Approximate mileage King's Highway 2,800 miles Number of details 80 " Average mileage covered on detail 35 Constables assigned to special duty night patrol, limited as above 10 " Minimum number required for service as above indicated 90 " Voluntary Security for Appearance A system providing means whereby motorists found to be in contravention of certain provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, might be relieved of any undue hardship or inconvenience incident to compulsory personal attendance at court, was put into effect as of June 18th, 1930. Lender this plan, an amount approximately as nearly as the constable officiating could judge to that which would be assessed as penalty and costs were the matter to receive hearing before a properly constituted court, could, upon being voluntarily tendered by the ofTending motorist, be accepted as surety for the appearance of the motorist in court at a date specified, and could be estreated and made to apply as fine and costs on the non-appearance of the accused at such court and hearing, such non-appearance being understood to constitute a plea of guilty by the trial magistrate. For any amount so tendered and accepted by the constable a receipt was given the accused motorist, the form being separated from a stub upon which details were entered by the constable to correspond with detail on receipt given, the form being a triplicate, a copy being provided for accused, trial magistrate, and these Headquarters, in each case. 32 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE No. 42 In the absence of complaint and judging by the use made of this form, I submit that the plan has been a success, and am particularly proud that under its use no suggestion of any irregularity has been made upon seven hundred and fourteen of these forms used throughout the system, and in the given period the total sum of $9,988.50 was collected upon the road and turned over in the first instance to magistrates whose names appeared on receipt form given accused motorist for his information, guidance and reference. Summary Voluntary security plan effective June 18th, 1930. Number of cases in which form was used — 714. Amount accepted under plan — $9,988.50. In conclusion I wish to express my keen appreciation of the way in which senior officers under your command received this patrol upon it being assigned to this Department, and to state that their helpfulness and co-operation has been of great value in the task of proper co-ordination of effort. I sincerely trust this report of work accomplished in the given period meets with your esteemed approval, and that in our future work, we may in some measure merit the confidence so generously reposed in us by you, and repay in some small measure the kind consideration you have invariably extended to us. All of which is very respectfully submitted. Inspector in Charge, Motorcycle Patrol. 1930 ONTARIO l'R(J\INC lAL I'OLICK 33 LIQUOR CONTROL ACT This Act has now been in operation over three years and it is encouraging to note that its provisions are being observed more satisfactorily each year. The chief difficulties now encountered in the enforcement of this Act are the home-brew beer problems and the influx of American alcohol, both of which are to a greater or lesser degree out of our control. There have been 6515 prosecutions by the members of this Force for viola- tions of the Liquor C^ontrol Act for the year ending the 31st October, 1930, and the following table gives the prosecutions, convictions, dismissals, etc., and lines imposed under the various headings for offences against the Act durmg the ab()\e period: Prosecu- tions Convic- tions Dis- missals With- drawn Com- mitted Awaiting Disposal Fines Doctors giving Illegal Pre- Drinking in Public Place Drunk in Public Place. . .

On June 1st, 1930, the new Export Act, passed by the Dominion Govern- ment, came into force. At that time there were some forty export warehouses operating in the Province of Ontario. During the month of May occupants were warned to export the contents of their warehouses or return same to breweries and distilleries as any liquors found after the new Act came into force would be liable to seizure. Since the closing of the export docks there has been a noticeable improve- ment in conditions. It has had the effect of shutting off the main source of supply to the bootlegger but has increased the amount of liquor being brought over our highways from Quebec in an endeavour to take it over the border into the United States. I am pleased to state that since the control of the Motorcycle Traffic officers has come under this Force they have done excellent work in connection with the enforcement of this Act, being responsible for the seizure and confiscation of twenty-one automobiles containing over three thousand bottles of liquor and three hundred and thirty-seven gallons of alcohol. A number of recommendations for suggested amendments to the Liquor Control Act and Regulations has been submitted by the Chief Inspector in charge of the enforcement of the Liquor Control Act, and the same forwarded to he Chief Commissioner, for his consideration.

Tenth Annual Report OF THE Mothers' Allow^ances Commission {Department of Public Welfare) FOR THE YEAR 1929-1930 PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO SESSIONAL PAPER No. 44. !931 ONTARIO TORONTO: Printed and Published by Herbert H. Ball, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty 1931 To His Honour William Donald Ross, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario. May It Please Your Honour : I have the pleasure to present herewith the Tenth Annual Report of the Mothers' Allowances Commission for the year 1929-1930. Respectfully submitted, W. G. Martin, Minister of Public Welfare. COMMISSION Honourable David Jamieson, M.D., M.C.P.S., Chairman. Miss Belle Thompson, Vice- Chairman. Mrs. Minnie Singer. Lieutenant-Colonel T. J. Murphy, K.C. Mr. a. J. Reynolds. 4] Tenth Annual Report OF THE Mothers' Allowances Commission For the Year 1929-1930 The Commission herewith begs to submit its report for the year ending 31st October, 1930. We have again to state there continues to be a steady increase in the number of beneficiaries, and a corresponding increase in the amount expended under the Act. The number of famiUes under our care at the end of the financial year was 5,626, being 267 in excess of the number at the same time the previous year. The number of children in these families was 16,908, being an increase of 924 over the previous year. The amount of money paid to beneficiaries was $2,394,088, whereas the previous year it was $2,306,083, showing an increase of $88,005. These increases shown are greater than might be expected in proportion to the increase of population but may to some extent be owing to the public being better informed about the Act and the greater desire to take advantage of its provisions. Another reason is that on account of the unemployment situation, many older children of beneficiaries who may have been working and contributing to the support of the family and this source of revenue being cut off, has made it necessary to extend public assistance to families who, under normal conditions, would be self-supporting. Each family presents its own problems. How to solve the problem for the best interests of the family as well as the state, is the task that confronts the Commission in each application for an allowance. Are the thrifty to be penalized for their thrift, and the indolent rewarded for their indolence? The Act does not permit the granting of an allowance if an applicant has more than $500.00 in liquid assets, but if a man carried insurance, his widow would probably have such assets. To overcome this difficulty a scheme has been devised whereby the assets may become fixed for a period of years, during which time the money is gradually retired by monthly payments to the family. This income is supple- mented by a grant under the provision of the Act, assuring the family of an income over a period of years, the number to be determined in accordance with the ages of the children. This scheme is working out very well indeed, not only assuring a steady income while the children are ^-oung, but also in assuring men w'ho see the value of carrying a fair amount of insurance that by so doing their families in the event of the death of the father, are not debarred from participating in the benefits of an Act provided for such a contingency, but on the other hand [5] 6 TENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE No. 44 are assured that the family income is larger while the children are young, as a result of their making provision by carrying insurance. The cost of administration was 884,116.73, being 3.54 per cent, of the amount expended, which is a slight increase over the previous year, but at a lower rate than any other year since the Act came into force. The Local Boards are efficiently co-operating with us in administering the Act, and we desire to express our commendation of the work being done by our investigators and also all the members of the office staff. The Commission also desires to express its appreciation of the courtesy and co-operative assistance extended by the Minister in charge of the Department, Honourable \V. G. Martin, Minister of Public Welfare. All of which is respectfully submitted, D. Jamiesox, Chairman.

LOCAL BOARDS Coulinued (Those marked * are municipal nominees) INDIAN RESERVES— ron//n«<'er Canada contained in several previous Reports. Of this invaluable original material, constituting ofificial State documents, there is in the Ontario Archives a considerable quantity which is being gradually prepared for publication and, as conditions permit, will appear. The Department is under obligation which falls here to be gratefully acknowledged. Early this year two valuable oils were received, each from the brush of Benjamin West, in his day an artist of note. One depicts the death of Wolfe, a scene famiHar by copies and engravings of West's original. The other is a striking representation of the naval action off La Hogue in 1692, a victory important to the British cause and an example of characteristic British seamanship. It may be incidentally mentioned that the canvas in each case is expansive, measuring eight feet in length and five feet four inches in height. Both pictures have attracted the attention of many visitors, who are always made welcome in the Department. To the friends who so generously enabled the Ontario Archives to possess these pictures of great historical interest, public acknowledgment is hereby most cordially tendered; and the co-operation of Professor Currelly of the Royal Ontario Museum in securing them originally in London, England, merits special mention. The Department is also under deep obligation to E. W. Beatty, Esquire, LL.D., Chancellor of McGill University and President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, for the donation of a realistic pioneer scene in the county of Glengarry, Ontario, showing a stalwart Highlander doing his daily darg at the plough. The artist is Mr. Cyrus Cuneo. The pioneers of Ontario were no rude sons of toil but men trained in thought, often in arts and letters, men broadened by adventures in two continents and awakened by the hard experience of two long wars. Many came to us and to the Maritime Provinces in the Highland garb. As pioneers they had to explore the resources of the vast wilderness of forest, lake and stream, into which they had been cast in the closing days of the eighteenth century. The pioneer had^to become a cultivator. He had to reconstruct out of meagre materials, in primitive conditions, the very foundations of life and living itself. In his first year he had to rescue a few acres for tillage from the giant grasp of giant trees; and beat the sword into a ploughshare. Every settler's hut is a monument to him, built out of his brawn, his brain, his blood. His thoughts must have been long, long thoughts: looking backward, he recalled old, half-forgotten, far-off things and battles not so long ago; looking forward he saw the sunshine, as in this picture, not so far away, across and above his path — the sunshine of prosperity that would reward his struggles and his thrift. He faced primitive conditions in a new land with the temper of Ulysses "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." [viil A Glengarry Settler, Ontario Painting by Cyrus Cuneo Presented by the Canadian Pacific Railway vni For live generations the settler's home has heen the fountain head for streams of pioneer settlers for our broad domain. In it were bred the pioneers to explore, develop, and settle the vast unknown heritage of our Far West. They were the heralds of new empires on the hither and far side of our (ireat Lakes a MacKenzie. who was the first to look out on an uncalm Pacific from Canadian soil; a Fraser, who revealed to us a river rivalling his own St. Lawrence; a Thompson, who traced out for us carefully our boundaries to the south with safety, judgment and satisfying accuracy. From the river counties of the St. Lawrence to the Bruce Peninsula, Ontario has given her offspring of the sturdy stock of her pioneers rich in their experience, traditions and sentiments, to carry the British spirit and British institutions to the wider areas a former generation from the same source had revealed . The Honourable Peter Russell, whose picture forms the frontispiece of this volume, was a descendant of the Irish branch of the Bedford Russells and was born at Cork, 11th June, 1733. He had served in the Revolutionary War as one of the secretaries to Sir Henry Clinton, Commander of the Forces in America, "the one man Washington feared." Clinton became Russell's lifelong friend and it was on his recommendation, probably, that Pitt named him (9th September, 1791) Receiver General to serve with Simcoe in organizing the new Province of Upper Canada. He had been nearly two years on duty when his patent of office was issued (13th March, 1794). In the meantime he had become, in Upper Canada, a member of the Executive Council (9th July, 1792) and of the Legislative Council (summoned 16th July, 1792, sworn in 17th September, 1792); and third Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in the Home District (27th June, 1793). In 1794 he received, on 10th August, a commission as Auditor General; and, on the reorganization of the courts, a commission (10th November) as Justice of the new Court of King's Bench. W'hen Simcoe went to England in July, 1796, Russell, as Senior Councillor, became Administrator of the Government of the Province (20th July, 1796); and continued those duties till the arrival of the Honourable Peter Hunter (17th August, 1799). Indefatigable, industrious, devoted to his duties, he missed but one meeting of the Executive Council during Simcoe's official term. At most of the meetings, the Minutes of which are given in this volume, he was the presiding member. In 1799 he reverted to the position of Receiver General and his other manifold duties, and died at York, 20th September, 1808. Alexander Fraser.

Resolved: That the Surveyor General be authorised to complete in the course of the fall and winter the following surveys recommended by him, viz., Surveyor General's office, 22nd August, 1796. The Acting Surveyor General submits to His Honour that the following surveys be made this fall and the ensuing winter, to accommodate the very many persons who hold warrants of survey. Orders of Council, etc.: — In the Eastern District: To complete so much as remains unsurveyed of the five forfeited townships of Osgoode, Walford, Montague, Russell, and Kitley. To run two concession lines in the three lower townships on the Ottawa or Grand River. In the Midland District: To complete so much as remains unsurveyed of the three forfeited townships of Loughborough, Huntingdon, and Rawdon. In the Home District: To surve}' the forfeited township of Clarke. In the Western District: To complete so much as remains unsurveyed of the forfeited township of Windham. Also: To complete so much as remains unsurveyed of the five Long Point townships. To run two concession lines on each side of Yonge Street. Also: A gore of land near Townsend, Western District, for which there are several applications. The following letter from the Honourable Richard Duncan to the Acting Surveyor General dated Rapid Plot, July 10th, 1796, was read: Dear Sir, — The business of our townships has given me much concern and what adds to my uneasiness is the apprehension of having unfortunately given some ofi^ence to the Governor without having it in my power either of knowing the cause or of saying any thing in my own defence, and conscious at the same time of never having intentionally given any. I once indeed flattered myself from the favorable answer I received .in relation to some hints which I took the liberty of offering to the Governor on this subject, that he would have moved the Council to have complied with our wishes, but I was very much disappointed. If upon the whole the Governor thinks he has granted more to us than his Instructions warrant, or may be consistent with the interest of the Province, we would have no objections to relieve him from this embarrassment by relin- quishing our claim and accepting of a compensation, which compensation we conceive should be 10,000 acres apiece on certain conditions favorable to the settlement of the townships, for instance, we will engage and bind ourselves in a bond if necessary to cover every 200 acre lot that may be worth cultivating exclusive of the reserves, with an unexceptionable settler in four years from the PUBLIC RKCORDS AND ARCHIVES OF ONTARIO, 1930 3 present time, and for this purpose we would employ a gentleman to go to Scotland this fall in order to bring over 200 families or settlers from that country, a gentleman on whose fidelitx', exertion and influence we can reply, and who can bring over 20 families of his own connections. At the same time we would rather prefer the mode at present practised in Lower Canada, and which from the tenor of our petitions we expected would be the same in Cpper Canada, and which is also similar to the mode formerly practised in the Colonies (now States) when under the jurisdiction of Great Britain, with this exception only that instead of returning so many names for a township, it was so many names for a patent. It is alleged that the Governor's Proclamation of 1792 con\'eys a sufficient idea of the intentions of Government, respecting the terms on which townships are to be granted. It may be so, but I have not penetration enough to see into it, and I know well that the late W'm. Smith who was one of the framers of that Proclamation as w^ell as the most intelligent character in Lower Canada thought that a system more intelligent was necessar\- to be adopted, but what appears to be very strange in this business is that, upon my interrogating Mr. Watson and others interested in townships respecting the terms, their uniform answer to me was that they were only required to put on 40 families or settlers in four years. Query: Why should not we have the same indulgence? Any information you can convey to us on this subject consistent with the duties of your office shall be gratefully acknowledged by, Dear Sir, etc. (Signed) RICHARD DUNCAN. David W. Smith, Esquire. As this letter conveys most indecent insinuations respecting the conduct of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor and the Council, and as it seems to hold up an opinion that an unequivocal grant of the townships in question has been made to Messrs. Duncan and Eraser, and that they in consequence confer an obligation upon the Lieut. Governor by offering to relinquish the right thereby given to them in those townships, and accepting in compensation 10,000 acres to each of them upon condition that they put an actual settler upon each remain- ing unreserved lot of 200 acres, it is unanimously resolved that every Order of Council which has appropriated one or more townships for the accommodation of Messrs. Duncan and Eraser and their associates be rescinded, preserving, however, to every person settled upon the townships of Mountain, Winchester and Finch their full right possession upon condition that they take the Oaths of Allegiance and subscribe the Declaration required, and bring a recommendation from Mr. Duncan or Mr. Eraser to the Surveyor's office or those of his deputies with the number of their lot and concession and name of their township to be entered, that an assignment may issue in the usual form, and that the said townships of Mountain, Winchester and Finch shall be thrown open to other applicants from the 1st of June, 1797, agreeable to the Governor's Proclamation of the 25th of last May. Read the report of a Committee of the Council on a reference from the Administrator, stating that they had agreeable to His Honour's desire called upon the Acting Surveyor General to lay before them the various books that are kept in his office by which it appears that in respect to number and descrip- tion they are perfectly adequate, and contain clear and satisfactory records of the transactions that have passed in it from its establishment. Amongst them 4 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF No. 46 there is also one containing the names of persons to whom land has been assigned, the quantity of such land, and the authority under which the assignment has been made, with a schedule annexed, and another containing the descriptions that have been given, either on the Orders of Council, or on such Land Board certificates as have been sent from the Attorney General's office for that purpose. Resolved in consequence: That the Board is perfectly satisfied with the mode in which the Acting Surveyor General arranges the business of his olifice. Read also a reference from the Administrator stating that having observed that grants had been issued to Captain Duncan for more than 6000 acres without specifying under what claims he obtained them, wherefrom it would appear that more land was granted than the King's Instructions warrant, and recommending that some mode might be adopted to distinguish the grants made to individuals in their own rights from those in right of authorised transfers. Resolved : That the Attorney General may be instructed to mark on the deeds in future either upon the back or in the body of the deed, any grant issued to individuals as the transferee of others by either expressing in the body of the deed, to such a one — the permitted assignee of — so and so — or inserting on the back of the deed — This deed granted to such a one as the permitted transferee of so and so. But if the Attorney General will be pleased to suggest any more proper mode the Board is ready to adopt it. Read a letter from the Attorney General to the Administrator, saying that it is necessary the deeds given by the King to persons recommended by the Six Nations should contain a reserve, and a letter from the Surveyor General requesting authority to appropriate a tract for that purpose. Resolved : That the Acting Surveyor General be instructed to appropriate some tract to the eastward and westward of the Six Nations' land in the rear of the lands reserved for the county of Lincoln to be a reserve for the maintenance of a protestant clergy in respect to the Six Nations' land. The accounts of William Jarvis, Esq., Secretary and Register of the Province for the half year ending the 30th of last June having been referred by the Administrator to a Committee of the Council, — to be revised on account of two new charges therein, viz., in that of Secretary for engrossing certain public instruments, and in that of Register for an office amounting together to £44:2:10 neither of which charges appears in any former account, and the Committee having examined Mr. Jarvis relative thereto and reported that his only authority for these respective charges is information lately received by him that the charge of engrossing was made by the Secretary of Cape Breton, and admitted ; and that he finds it necessary to have an office as Register separate from that of the Secretary to obviate accidents by fire, etc. Resolved by the Board that Mr. Jarvis' charges for engrossing public instruments do not appear to be sufficiently authenticated; and that two offices as Secretary and Register do not at present appear to be necessary. But as these accounts have passed the audit of the Lieutenant Governor and Council without being objected to, and have been transmitted to the Lords of His Majesty's Treasury, the Board is of opinion the Administrator's warrant should issue for the payment thereof but that the charges specified are not to be allowed in future unless warranted by the command of their Lordships.

Peter Russell, Administering: the Government, and the Honourables AEneas Shaw, John McCiili and D. \V. Smith. Read a memorial of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the Home District in Special Sessions assembled at Niagara this 26th day of September, 1796, stating that the memorialists being anxious to accommodate the Ministers of Justice in the respective Courts and to ease the district of the great expense to which it is daily exposed by the present mode of securing and maintaining prisoners had (agreeably to the Act in that case made and provided) directed a court house and gaol to be erected upon a plan which they flattered themselves their ability was equal to; but the assessments having from various causes fallen short of their expectations they find themselves incapable of proceeding without assistance. They therefore pray for a loan of three hundred pounds, Halifax currency, to be replaced out of the district assessments within five years from the present date. Reference being made to His Majesty's Instructions directing the Lieut. Governor to take care, with the advice and assistance of the Executive Council, that such prisons as may at any time be necessary be erected and that those already created be kept in such condition as effectually to secure the prisoners which now are or may be hereafter confined therein: Ordered that a loan be granted as desired.

Read a letter from the Acting Surveyor General desiring to know if he is to set apart any land for Mr. McCall's future recommendations. Ordered that Mr. McCall's recommendations for 200 acre lots shall be good for such lots as may happen to be vacant in the Long Point Settlement for 12 months longer, but the country cannot be any longer locked up for the accommodation of his friends. Read a letter from the same transmitting an order from General Simcoe to pay Major Holland for a mathematical instrument sent by him for the use of Upper Canada, and desiring His Honour's sanction to enter the price as an item in his account. Ordered that the charge be admitted in the Acting Surveyor General's account, when the amount is known and the receipt of payment vouched. The Acting Surveyor General having laid before the Board the plan of a reserve proposed for public buildings at York, the same was approved and ordered to be appropriated for those purposes. Read a letter from the Acting Surveyor General relative to Land Board certificates to Captain Ten Brook for certain lands in East Flamboro' on the north side of Burlington Bay. Ordered that as all the certificates of the late Land Board of Nassau for the Indian lands at the head of the Lake Ontario in East Flamboro' purchased from the Indians since the date of those certificates have been declared by the Council to be insufficient for reasons then assigned on their Minutes, — those certificates are not to be charged against Capt. Ten 6 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF No. 46 Brook as part of his military lands, but whatever quantity appears on the surveyor's books to be still due to him to complete his 3000 acres as a reduced Captain, are to be assigned in some other part, or in East Flamboro' if there are ^'acancies.

Council Chamber, at Newark. Present: Hon. Peter Russell, Administering the Government, and Honourables AEneas Shaw, John McGill and D. V\'. Smith. Read the petition of William Willcocks, Esq., stating that in consequence of an Order of His Excellency in Council dated 31st Dec, 1792 appropriating the township of Norwich, now Whitby, for the accommodation of him and his recomm.endations, loyal subjects, he went to Ireland and had engaged there and in Wales upwards of two hundred families to come to the said township, but they being prevented from risking a voyage across the Atlantic by the French War which immediately intervened, he quitted his business, possessions, and prospects and returned to this country at a very considerable expense to lay his difficulties before His Excellency, and prays indulgence until a peace should happen, when all the families he had engaged would certainly come over; that the township of Whitby having been laid open by Proclamation in May last when the petitioner was at Montreal, he is deprived of the means of accommodat- ing any of those families when they come over, and may be in consequence exposed to their actions at common law for failure of his engagements. Petitioner in consequence prays for relief in the premises. The Board, having taken the said petition into their consideration and having a faith in Mr. Willcocks' assurances that he will bring a number of loyal settlers into this Province, do order that the remaining unreserved and unlocated lots in the township of Whitby be kept open for Mr. Willcocks' recommendations for two years longer from the present date, and that the Surve^'or General be authorised to receive the same accordingly, as far as 200 acres to each settler. Whenever Mr. Willcocks may wish to recommend for a larger quantity of land, application on his part must be made by petition to the Council. On application from the Acting Surveyor General, it was ordered that when townships or other large portions of land have been appropriated to the recom- mendations of one or more individuals it is meant that the Surveyor General shall receive their recommendations for one farm lot to each settler recommended without being under the necessity of referring to other authorities. Should a larger quantity be asked for, application to be made to the Governor in Council. Wm. Jarvis, Esq.

And the Clerk of the Council is likewise directed to give notice to the public that all disputed claims will be heard by the Governor and Council during the sitting of the Legislature in every year. And as much trouble is occasioned to the offices by receiving and hearing caveats, the following fees are allowed to be taken. Ten shillings and six pence currency by the Clerk of the Council upon the determination of the Council on every caveat. By the Secretary: P'or receiving and filing each caveat, 1/6 currency; Reporting to the Attorney General, 1/6 currency; Receiving and filing Decrees of Council, 1/6 currency. Adjourned.

Read a petition from Wm. Jarvis, Secretary and Register of the Province, representing that his fees as Register for grants under 500 acres being only 2/6 from those who pay fees, and 1/3 from Government for those who are exempted, are too small for the labour attending that duty, being not even equal to what he is obliged to pay those clerks he employs in copying them, and praying leave to charge 1/ for every 100 words therein. L^pon reference to His Grace the Duke of Portland's Instructions on the subject of fees by w^hich the Council find themselves restricted to the ratio of the Nova Scotia Table with respect to the quantum, and observing that the Table of Fees and their distribution established by the Order of Council dated the 9th of July are perfectly conformable to the Nova Scotia Table, the Board is of opinion they are not at liberty to make any addition to the Register's fees, but being sensible that the half fee of 1/3 upon registering grants of 500 acres and under is by no means equal to the expense of employing clerks for doing that duty, expecially since the specification of the Clergy Reserve has been added subsequent to the Nova Sotia Table, the Board recommend that Mr. Jarvis' memorial may be transmitted to the Secretary of State for His Grace's further consideration ; and in the mean time order that the Register be allowed to charge in his contingent account £40 currency for a clerk to do that extra duty. Upon a motion of the Hon. D. W. Smith, ^Acting Surveyor General, that the Secretary should be furnished with some means of distinguishing the deeds which originate from petitions lodged in the Council office before the first of July last from those lodged subsequent thereto, else he will not know* who are to be charged the expense of survey and who not, ordered that the Clerk of the Council take care to endorse upon the back of every petition the date of its being received into his office, numbering these petitions in regular succession according thereto; and that he immediately transmit to the Secretary's office a list of the names of those persons to whom lands have been granted in consequence of petitions lodged in the Council office subsequent to the first of last July; and that he shall 10 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF No. 46 continue to send the like lists to the Secretary's office at the end of every month stating the names of those to whom lands have been granted under Orders of Council since the last report. Ebenezer Collver appeared personally before the Board and voluntarily surrendered to the King lot 8 in the 7th concession of the township No. 4 now Louth, where the salt springs are. Ordered that Ebenezer Collver in considera- tion of his having voluntarily relinquished to Government the lot that the salt spring is on shall have a grant of four hundred acres free of any expense whatever, and that Mr. Angus AlcDonell shall have a grant of 1200 acres in lieu of 600 acres adjoining the salt spring free of any expense of survey.

The Board having taken the same into consideration judge it reasonable that the Clerk of the Council shall be allowed the following incidental fees to enable him to do the duties of his office: For receiving and filing all petitions 0/6 Reading the same before the Council 2/6 Entering the order thereon and joining a copy of the minutes or warrant 2/6 5/6 The Acting Surveyor General's report on certain disputed claims in Stam- ford being called for and read, the following certificate was signed by John Mucklehone in the presence of James Neville, John Johnson, Joseph Lutes, Solomon Hyate and Margarate Clew, all of whom attended, being parties concerned : "I certify that I have no claim to lot 63 in the township of Stamford." his JOHN X MUCKLEHONE. mark The Board having taken into consideration the Acting Surveyor General's report of the 27th Sept., 1796, and heard the parties concerned, confirm John Johnson in lots 63 and 53; and lots 46, 34, 27 and 14 in Stamford to John Lutes and his permitted assigns. Read the petition of Capt. James Fulton, and Thomas C. Drew for selves and associates, stating that they waited to know the terms on which townships were granted, and praying to be reinstated in the townships of Rawdon and Huntingdon which had been granted to them, and were declared open by Proclamation in May last. Ordered that the petitioners be informed in answer that the Board does not judge it expedient to re-appropriate the townships prayed for, but that in consideration of the matters stated in their petition Messrs. T. Drew, Edward Campbell, John Norton, and Samuel and Joseph Willard may receive 1200 acres each upon their becoming residents in this Province and applying for the same, which is the largest quantity of land they could have received on any consideration; and if any persons have been settled previous to this date in the townships of Rawdon and Huntingdon under their sanction they shall be confirmed on their complying with the mode pointed out by notice from the Surveyor General's office at sundry times, and more par- ticularly in September last.

Purchase does not appear regular, and mill sites belong to the possessors of the land on each side of the stream. Petitions read on the 11th July: Read the petition of John Lawrence, Esquire, praying for a mill seat on the River Humber. The Committee, having considered the report of the Deputy Surveyor with the plan accompanying it, and having heard what Mr. Lawrence and Mr. \Mlson had to say on the subject, are of opinion that the position prayed for is a very eligible one for mills and would answer better in the hands of one person than of two but, as it appears that every injury likely to accrue to the King's saw mills by erecting a grist mill on the little island may be obviated by a certain expense and precaution, and it may be of very great advantage to the 28 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF No. 46 neighbouring settlements that a grist mill be erected there without delay, the Committee begs leave to recommend the prayer of the petition to Your Excel- lency upon conditions that Mr. Lawrence enters into bond with sufficient security in the penalty of £500 to His Majesty if he does not secure the island with piles and other means from being washed away in consequence of the races which are to be cut through it, and if he does not take every precaution which may be suggested to guard against injury being done to the King's mill by his works, and that he will surrender his grant to the King if he fails in commencing his grist mill before the end of one year from this date, and does not finish it fit for grinding before the expiration of two years. Upon Mr. Lawrence's complying with these conditions, the Committee sees no objections to Your Excellency's granting the mill site as washed with red on the map, and as much of the land between the two roads on the west of the Humber as he may wish, not exceeding thirty acres, and provided that his line does not pass too close on the ground wanted for the King's mill.

No certificates came to hand, but their father at his death assigned said lots to petitioners, which they have settled and improved at a great expense considering themselves perfectly secure, but they now find that the above lots are reserved for the use of the Crown. Referred to the Surveyor General to report thereon and be accommodated if practicable. 6. Charles Blake, Garrison Surgeon for the city of Montreal. Stating that by His Majesty's Instructions to the Governor General, he is entitled to a pro- portion of land equal to a Captain of His Majesty's reduced forces, that he has drawn 1200 acres thereof on the Ottawa or Grand River, that in the year 1792 the Land Board for the Eastern District located to him 1800 acres of land in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd concessions of the township of Marlborough, but that upon examining the map of the said township it does not appear that petitioner's name is entered thereon; he therefore prays that his name may be inserted for lots 10, 11, and 12 in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd concessions of said township, and that a deed may issue in his name. To lie over until reference can be had to the Council Book of Quebec. 7. Jonathan Bertron. Recommended for 200 acres if not granted before. 8. David Bertron. Recommended for 200 acres if not granted before. 9. William Chewett. Stating that he has received 1200 acres of land, and praying for 800 in addition being his right as a staff officer.

Present: His Honour Peter Russell, Esq., Administering the Government; Hon. John Elmsley, Chief Justice, and Hon. David William Smith. Upon a motion of Mr. Chief Justice, ordered that on all petitions, memorials, and other applications to the Board be endorsed the minutes of the Order of Council made thereupon, and that the members present do set the initials of their names thereto. The Administrator having represented to the Board that, when the seat of Government shall be removed to York, there will be an absolute necessity of securing some certain and safe means of communication by water from thence with the other parts of the Province at all times when the occasions of Govern- ment may require, but, in consequence of the reduction of the marine establishment on the two lakes, those communications by means of the King's vessels can never be depended on as York lies out of the usual transport line, and they being employed on that service will seldom be able to attend to the requisitions of Government for any other from York. The Board are therefore of opinion that a vessel of small tonnage sufficiently large to navigate the lake with safety should be provided for the purpose of carrying dispatches and passengers wherever the exigencies of Government may require, and that this vessel should be entirely under the orders of the Governor or person administering the Government of this Province. The Board consequently recommends that the proper officers be directed to cause an immediate survey of the little vessel lately built for a gun boat now at York, and report the possibility of converting her into a dispatch boat with an estimate of the expense attending such a conversion, and lest the above vessel may not be found proper for the service, and as winter is the proper season for providing timber, etc., the Board submits to the Administrator the propriety of his giving the necessary orders in the meantime for felling trees, etc., for a vessel of about forty tons.

William Robertson Hamilton, for self and brothers, John Robertson Hamilton, Robert Hamilton, Junior, George Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, James Hamilton, and Samuel Hamilton. Petitioners are sons of the Honourable Robert Hamilton, all born in this country, and do intend to establish themselves for life in this Province. That with intent to do this with advantage to themselves and the country some of them have already received their education in Britain and others are now there for that purpose. Convinced that landed property alone can give them that permanent respectability which their father has taught them to hope for, they petition for such a portion of the waste lands of the Crown as His Honour may think proper for their purposes and conformable to the rank which the family ha\e hitherto held in the society, and which they with this aid will endeavour stedfastly to maintain. The Board considering the great benefit Mr. Hamilton has been to this infant colony, and the high rank he holds in it, regret they have it not in their power to mark their sense of them by a larger donation of lands than 1200 acres to each of his sons mentioned in this petition, which are hereby ordered. 2.

It is likewise ordered that public notice be given from the Council office of this order, that all persons may be cautioned against purchasing any Land Board certificates or Orders of Council in favour of the said Serjeant George Campbell, and also cautioned against concealments and frauds of the like nature in their applications to Council, as they may be assured that the same punishment will follow the detection of them. Read the petition of William Dickson complaining that the Secretary of the Province has refused to give deed to U.E. Loyalist without his fee. Ordered that the Secretary of the Province do endeavour to satisfy himself as well as the nature of the case will admit of the identity of the persons applying for their deeds though the names may not be spelt exactly like those which appear in the deeds, and when he cannot satisfy himself, application must be made to the Council for instruction, but when the latter mode can be avoided the Secretary is desired to do so on account of the great loss of time and trouble likely to be occasioned by such applications to the injury of the King's service. Joseph Easton, Senior. Ordered in consideration of the expenses the peti- tioner has incurred that the lots unassigned in this report be assigned to Joseph Easton and the other names opposite on their taking the oaths, etc. Pl^BLIC RECORDS AND AR(H1\'ES OF ONTARIO, 1930 135 2nd May, 1797.

Present: His Honour Peter Russell, Administering the Government; Hon. John Elmsley, Chief Justice, and Hon. David William Smith. Read the following letter from the Surveyor General to His Honour the Administrator: S.G.O., 12th May, 1797. Sir: On the 21st of September last Your Honour directed me to locate a man by 146 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF No. 46 the name of Jacob Miesner, recommended to you by Captain Ryerse, on a farm lot in the vicinity of Long Point. After searching the office I discovered that a man by the name of Jacob Misner had received an assignment on the 9th May, 1795 (No. 668), for 200 acres in Crowland upon a Land Board certificate of the 3rd May, 179L Presuming this to be the same person, although the orthography of the surname differed a little, I refused to locate him, upon Your Honour's order, and a warrant which he had lodged the day before, the 20th September (No. 276), for 200 acres until he gave me a certificate, conjointly with some other person, that he was not the Jacob Misner who claimed the lands in Crowland; in conse- quence of which he, with one John Misner, Senior, gave me the annexed certi- ficate, upon which 200 acres were described in Woodhouse (No. 2125) on the warrant. After this the Land Board certificate was sent to me to be described. Still conceiving there was another Jacob Misner, it was accordingly described (No. 2149), but there being some instrument in writing on the back of it, I could not divest myself of suspicion. I therefore wrote on the 21st February last to Jacob Misner of Woodhouse and to Jacob Miesner of Crowland, to know how they were distinguished but, receiving no answer, I began to make enquiries of several persons as to the unity of Jacob Misner and Miesner, and have reason to believe he is one and the same person, particularly from the information of one Peter Mathews, who says he has given him a valuable consideration for his land in Crowland. In the hope, however, that this may not affect a second person, should there be another Jacob Misner, I am, etc., (Signed) D. W. Smith, A.S.G. His Honour the Administrator. Ordered that public notice be issued from the Surveyor General's office requiring Jacob Misner and Jacob Miesner to appear before him on a certain day to substantiate their respective claims to the two lots in question and, if they fail to do so, the Order of Council in favour of Jacob Misner for a lot in Long Point to be rescinded, as also the certificate for Crowland unless transferred by the sanction of the Land Board. Read the following petitions: Hermonus Haverland. Praying for lot 13 in Willoughby.

Reference being had to a former resolution of Council on a petition from James Farquharson, it appears that the petitioner was considered to have received in Lower Canada the portion of land the Governor and Council judged him entitled to. The Board consequently does not regard themselves at liberty to make any addition especially as the petitioner, James Farquharson, is since dead. The prayer of this petition is, of course, refused. Thomas Ridout, Esq. Stating that in a grant which has issued to him of 1200 acres in the township of Ancaster there is a mistake in the 7th line of the words "north westerly angle," instead of "south westerly angle," and that the usual words "to the place of beginning," are omitted. The Acting Surveyor General being present and stating to the Board that the word "north" is so inserted by mistake instead of the word "south," ordered that the deed be sent to the Attorney General and that he be directed to erase the word "north" in the 7th line and to insert the word "south" in the place thereof, and also to insert the words "to the place of beginning."

Respectfully submitted, Geo. S. Henry, Minister of Highways. Department of Highways, Toronto, March 3rd. 1931. To Till-: HoNDUKAULE Geo. S. Henry, Minister of Highways, On'.nrio. Sir, — I have the honour to submit the Report of the Department of Highways for the years 1928 and 1929, having special reference to works on the Provincial Highway System; work carried on by the several counties of Oniario, and by township councils. Reference is also made to the operation of The Highway Traffic Act; and to other services within the purview of the Department of Highways. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yours respectfully, R. M. Smith, Deputy Minister of Highways. Parliament Buildings, Toronto, March 2nd, 1931. 17] Ontario and Its Highways Report of R. M. Smith, Deputy Minister \\ itli t'.u 1) succeeding year, one is just that much more impressed with the importame of our highways. Transportation problems change almost over night. With tlie bus replacing the electric line, and the truck rapidly cutting into the local freight mo\ement, conditions have developed that c(juld hardly have been foreseen 1)\- the most far-sighted road builder. The principles (;f good highway engineering antl a sound highway policy must of necessity apply in the work we have in hand. Conditions will \ary and what might be accepted as very necessar>- in an industrial area, such as ai)plies in the middle west of this Province, would not obtain in b\- far the greater part of the outlying sections. Ontario is still in its infancy from a highway point of view. Fortunately for the highway engineer, it is still sparsely settled and even more fortunately from the road builder's point of view in the early days an effort was made to keep the highwa\s fairh- straight. Provision was also made for a decent width of right-of-way, generally all surve\s, even those of a very early date, requiring 66 feet. Alignment of our highwa\s is possibh' the most important factor with which we have to deal. The engineer must ha\e vision; he must see the future development as a picture before him; he must have imagination. Unfortunately for him, however, it is sometimes very difificult or next to impossible to get ofificials or executives higher up to see the picture that he paints or to follow his image, and so he is obliged to adopt the second best, falling back on the old line that it is "a big improvement over the old conditions." How often we satisfy ourselves with the next best thing, almost invariably regretting our lack of aggressiveness after the work is completed. Time after time so-called improvements have been made in our road location, the alignment at the time appearing to give entire satisaction. To-day these same locations would be considered very poor engineering. For instance, in our early construction we permitted a 300-foot radius curve at a right-angled turn. To-day nothing less than 500 feet would be allowed and preferabh' a 700-foot to a 1,000-foot radius should be used. We also allowed that it was acceptable engineering for our roads to meander about the country, going miles out of the line of direct routes to serve small hamlets. The cost of construction of these extra miles in some cases would exceed the value of the property served. Too often outside influences are allowed to play a part in this highway alignment. Pressure is brought to bear to have the road go here, there or elsewhere; sometimes only to serve selfish ends. Above all things, no influence should warp our judgment in this extremely important item of highway building. The closest study is warranted and engineers should be given a free hand as far as possible. The purchase of an entirely new right-of-way is now common practice. Engineers and officials are beginning to appreciate the comparatively low value even of a fair road on poor alignment. It is common practice in many of the surrounding States to entirely relocate their trunk highways; and in the case of reconstruction to go for miles without touching the old road. One cannot [9] 10 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 conceive the tremendous loss of this originally poorly aligned highway. What an enormous saving in road materials had the new surfaces been laid on these well consolidated bases! \'ast sums are being expended by the State of New York at this time, not only in improving the alignment, but in a second step, that of rerouting their highways, often wath the definite intention of avoiding towns or villages and even cities where traffic concentration is becoming a serious matter. The old cry, "Give us highways through our main streets," is being replaced by the request that this traffic be taken elsewhere.

Even quaint old England with her many tortuous roads realizes that the motor car is becoming an important factor in transportation. Then in the study of alignment, particularly in Canada where the railroads preceded highway development, the rerouting to avoid railwa>- level crossings is worthy of consideration. Several miles of road can be built at the cost of one subway or overhead. The diversion of the highwa\- from one crossing to another, avoiding two level crossings, is not a particularly expensive method to consider. IMPROVEMENT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 11 AliKiinieiit is the oiiK' delniite and I'lnal tiling' alxuit a liij;h\vay Bridges fail, grades settle or wash away, the surface deteriorates and requires replacement, but the alij^Miment is always there. This question of direction is rect'IvinK our closest stud\-. We expect to err on the side of extravagance rather than weakness. In our construction we have endeavoured to use good judgment. We have made it a point, as far as possible, never to move a yard of earth or to lay a pound of stone without keeping the finished product in mind C.rades should be established to fit the alignment we have decided on. They should not be excessive, but shf)uld permit of the easy transportation of the vehicle over the road surface the highwa>- is expected to accommodate. We know, for instance, that truck traffic will not be great remote from industrial centres. We must not lose sight of the fact, however, that touring traffic moves at a much greater rate of speed than the freight carrier, and consequently vertical curves are just as serious and dangerous as horizontal curves. While a 7 per cent, grade is considered the maximum, we rarely build to more than 5 per cent. Another matter that has been overlooked is the construction of the drainage structures along the road. How frequently we notice short culverts and narrow bridges, neither permitting of convenient widening. Bridges, especially the steel-truss type are possibly the worst offenders. In Ontario we have in the past built our culverts to provide for a 30-foot width of grade. On new work these are now being extended to take care of considerable extra width d -pendant upon height of fill. So far as our bridges are concerned, we have in the past provided for a 24-foot roadway, but on our future work we will add 6 feet to these structures making them the same width as our standard grade, the small additional cost in each case being justified by increased safety. In our grading we are widening very materially the width, particularly on high fills and curves. In the latter case, we are going even further and superelevating the grade to a very considerable degree, W^e have also changed the design of our ditch from 134 to 1 slope to 2 to 1 .-lope, this improvement removing to some extent the deep-ditch hazzard. The question of pavements, their type and the width we build, depends upon the traffic anticipated. Ontario lays the two well-known types, concrete and asphalt. Generally, cement concrete is laid in the industrial areas where gravels and cement materials are plentiful, and asphalt in locations where stone is easily obtained. Plither pavement has its merits and we would be hesitant about making a decision without careful study of all conditions that apply. It is frequently necessary to consider the building of secondary roads, or the laying of a surface that will serve until such time as something more permanent is required. The necessity for construction of this kind still applies and will continue to do so for many years. The grade may be surfaced with gravel, fine broken stone, or it may be waterbound macadam, bituminous penetration, or even a higher type. All are being so treated or constructed that they will not be lost as further development occurs. Bituminous-treated gravels have made excellent bases on which to build higher types. Crushed stone properly manipulated and surfaced with bitumen provides a very excellent road. Many miles have been built of this type, commonly known as retread. The 10-foot concrete strip placed on one side of the road has much to recommend it. Another alternative is the 3-inch asphaltic surface known in Ontario as ml.xed macadam or black base. These types of surfaces come within the secondary roads classification. They are a live issue, particularly in county and township 12 REPORT UPON HIGH\\AV No. 47 work in this Province, and I feel they are worthy of attention particularh- in sections where we are just bordering on the permanent pavement stage. The "strength" of a road is its abiHty to withstand traffic. The width of metal that should be used and the type of surface that must be built depends entirely upon the traffic that will pass over the road. So many problems have presented themselves to our engineers in making a decision — the class of soil, the nature of the subgrade, the length of time the road has been graded, the metal already on the surface, the proximity to industrial areas, the question of detour. Ontario in the early days of our construction completed many miles of grading. To get traffic over this grade, a waterbound macadam base was built and some of this base is still in existence. Where this condition applies, we are covering with "black base" or what is also known as asphaltic-mixed macadam. This additional surface is laid on a tonnage basis, the depth of iJrulge u\ er Madauiiskd Ki\er, .\rnprior, on Highway No. 11 surface being decided upon the conditions that apply as mentioned before. Generally, however, where a fair macadam base existed, we find that six inches in depth is sufficient. If time and traffic indicate that the road needs further strengthening, additional material can always be applied. While macadam was used extensively in the early da\s, it was not always used and man\- miles of new grade received gravel. Where this applies we find it cheaper to build concrete. We presume no pavement is more uni\ersally used where permanent surfaces are required. It can be built comparatively cheaply, has a long life, provides a comfortable riding surface and frequently can be built with local materials suitably treated. We are still Iniilding our pavements 20 feet wide. di\ided into two 10-foot strips 10 inches in depth at the side and 7 inches at the centre. No transverse joint is used, the centre marking di\i(ling the road into two traffic lanes. IMPROVKMHNT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 13 W liilc the policies of our Department have been controlled to a large extent by the funds available, we have tried to build to a plan, to build for the future, keeping in mind that a structure is just as stable as its foundation, and so our slogan has been to build fr — ' o , - <2 o aj 00 ■* o X ex:) tN CN CO >. rt ^ IMPRONHMKNT IN ONTARIO I'OR 1928 AND 1929 15 Report on Provincial Highways Covering Construction and Maintenance for the Years 1928 and 1929 A.

This work 16 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 included the reduction of grades on steep hills to 4 and 5 per cent, grades or less, easing sharp curves to not less than 700 feet radius wherever possible, widening the subgrade to not less than 30 feet and banking of all curves. The whole of this 250 miles was covered with gravel or crushed stone and used as a temporary surface. Bridges and Culverts In 1928, 407 bridges and culverts were constructed and in 1929,271 were completed. The following is a complete list of the bridges built during this period.

The new surface applied is usualK' the mixed-macadam t\i)e and is luiilt to \ arious depths of from three to six inches. Waterhound macadam paxements usually require a bituminous surface treatment at least e\ery other \ear and consequently the Department has been compelled to treat 328.83 miles durinj); these two years. Gravel Roads It will be noticed also that our j^raxei rcKid surfaces are fast disappearing, due to more permanent type of pavement being constructed thereon. On J- 2061 THE KING'S HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION CR055 OF (^Z^tyCL^ SECTION DITCH C/)/e/ Z^/7a//7eer /)(°bufy M/zi/sfer the gravel roads that we have, it is becoming more necessary to treat with a dust layer material, such as oil or calcium chloride, and in the two years mentioned 395 miles were thus treated at an approximate cost of S250.00 per mile per treatment. Sometimes two treatments per year were necessary, depending entirely on the season. Retreat Pavement In 1928 this type of pavement was first tried out on the provincial highway west of Meaford for a distance of two miles. It consists of a broken-stone surface approximately 23^2 inches in depth consolidated. The method of construction of this road is to first prime the subgrade with the required bitumen. Then the graded stone is spread on the road to a depth of 3 inches, which is given an 1! REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 application of bituminous binder. This is then bladed, mixed and respread by the aid of graders and drags. By this method the stone is thoroughly coated with the bitumen. Next a second application of binder is given. These two applications require three-quarters of a gallon of bitumen to the square yard. Then levelling of the stone by the grader is continued and material consolidated by the aid of a roller. After the rolling is done the surface voids are filled with ^-inch chips or pea gravel after which a final surface treatment of a 3^ to 3^3 of a gallon per square yard is applied and a further coating of ^-inch chips given which is consolidated by rolling. This type of pavement costs approximately 86,000.00 to 88,000.00 per mile for a road 20 feet in width. High\va\' Xo. 2. In this connection asphalt emulsions were first used on provincial highways in 1929 for surface treatment of macadam roads and construction of retread and penetration types. Our experience is yet too limited to enable us to judge as to its merits, although up to the present its success is good. Level Railway Crossing Eliminations In 1928 an o\erhead bridge was constructed over the (liatham, W'allaceburg and Lake Erie Railway on Highway No. 3, at Cedar Springs. Also an overhead bridge was constructed at Puslinch over the Canadian Pacific Railway, eliminating a bad level crossing. In 1929 a subwa\- was built on the Webster Side Road under the Canadian National Railways in the Township of Saltfleet, eliminating a bad level crossing of three tracks. IMPROX'KMKNT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 19 In the same year a lU'w subway was luiilt uiKk-r the Canadian National l\ailwa\s at Shannoin ille, cutting out four most dangerous curves on the Iiii^liway.

Signs The Department has expended a considerable sum in erecting signs on the provincial highw^ays. In these two years 5,060 symbol signs, 5,472 road signs and 2,067 stop signs were erected. Still we feel there is much to be done in this direction in order to aid the public in finding their required route and in the interests of safety. Most of the signs have to be painted every other year or replaced due to damage. The years 1928 and 1929 have seen a great increase in the mileage of centre-line painting of highways on curves and over crests of hills. The painting we feel has been the means of greatly reducing highway traffic accidents. It consists of a white painted strip 6 inches in width, which requires to be painted at least twice a year, particularly on the sections where traffic is heavy. 20 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 Maintenance Few changes have been made in our system of road maintenance. Except perhaps for the fact that longer beats for patrolmen are advocated wherever pavements have been laid. On these beats motor trucks are used instead of teams. The length of the beat varies from 15 to 40 miles. The Department had 261 patrol districts in 1928 and 265 in 1929. The sections were all in charge of competent men. Snow-Clearing As years go by the public are demanding more open roads during the winter months and it is felt that in the not far distant future all Provincial Caterpillar -Snow Plough on Highway Xo. 6. Highways will be all-year-round roads. During the winter of 1928-29 the Department kept open 1,600 miles of road at a cost of vSl 15.974.00, and in 1929-30 1,800 miles were cleared, which cost $309,713.00. The above costs include sanding of pavements. This sanding is done whenever the pavement becomes icy or slippery, particularly on hills or curves and approaches to railway crossings. It is done for reasons of safety and is approximately one-half the cost of the snow-clearing charges shown above. Few changes have been made in the design of snow-plough equipment during the two years mentioned, except for the fact that a caterpillar tractor and special plow was tried out in a very heavy snow area north of (luelph with great success.

As previously mentioned the following pavement was laid during 1928: Cement coiurete 134,' 2 miles Asphahic concrete 3^ " Mixed macadam 85 J^ " Bituminous penetration 3' 2 " Concrete Pavement A considerable addition was made to the mileage of concrete pavements on the provincial highway system during the past year. For about two-thirds of this construction local aggregates were used and material shipped in for the balance. The Ontario pro\incial highways section, which has been standard for the last few \ears. was used, consisting of a slab 20 feet in width, 7 inches thick in the centre and 10 inches thick at each edge. A submerged metal centre joint was used and reinforcing was placed over culverts, new fills and soft spots. The mix employed was 1-13^-3. This is a richer mix than employed by the majority of the States to the south of us. On No. 3 Highway, which is known as the Talbot Road and extends from Windsor via St. Thomas to Niagara Falls, concrete pavement was laid for a distance of 532 miles west from Delhi, completing the gap between Delhi and Tillsonburg. A 10)2-iTiile gap west of Tillsonburg was also paved. About 15 miles of concrete was laid from Wallacetown west to the Kent County line, aggregate materials for the west 83^ miles were obtained from Lake Erie and washed and screened and reassembled. The completion of these sections makes a continuous pavement from Niagara Falls to the Kent County line. On the same highway a 10-mile gap between Wheatley and Port Alma was also paved with concrete. On Highway No. 3a, 8 miles of concrete were laid w^est of Port Colborne to Chambers Corners, which is the point where Highway No. 3a connects with Highway No. 3. On the London-Sarnia Road about 5 miles of concrete were laid east of Warwick and over 5 miles between Lobo and Hickory's Corners. From St. Marys south about 6 miles were laid and over 3 miles south from Elginfield. The completion of these last two sections leaves only 7 miles unpaved (east from Elginfield) between Stratford and London. Concrete was laid from Clinton to Seaforth and also west from Guelph a little over 5 miles. With the paving of these two sections there is only a mile gap at the Breslau crossing of the Grand River of uncompleted pavement between Guelph and Goderich. Concrete pavement was also laid at Acton, between Harriston and Clifford, at the Hamilton east entrance, between Penetang and Midland, north and south from Orangeville, and the approaches to Queenston Bridge on provincial highways north and w^est of Toronto. East of Toronto 9 miles of concrete north from Manchester on the Whitby-Lindsay Road w^ere laid, also 3 miles north from Peterborough on the Lindsay-Peterborough Road. In the vicinity of Port Hope the cut-off from Welcome to Dale w^as paved and 73^ miles north from Port Hope on the Peterborough- Port Hope Road. 22 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY Xo. 47 East of Kingston concrete was laid from Johnstown north to Spencerville, a distance of over 7 miles on the Ottawa-Prescott Road; this leaves only a section from Spencerville to Kemptville unpaved on this highway. Concrete was also laid at the Mississippi Bridge on the Ottawa-Pembroke Road. Asphaltic Concrete and Mixed Macadam Mixed macadam pavement was laid in two courses, each 3 inches after consolidation. The top course was sealed with medium liquid asphalt and covered with ^-inch stone chips. Both local stone and commercial materials were used in this t>'pe of construction. Mixed macadam can be laid without detouring traffic, which is a very important feature in certain localities. Where Highway \o. 17, west of Cuinbarland. asphaltic concrete was laid either 5 inches of black base or a concrete base were covered with 1 inch of asphaltic concrete top. Asphaltic concrete was laid from Aurora south to Schomberg and also on the approaches to the Vonge Boulevard Bridge. Mixed macadam pavement was laid on No. 3 Highwa>- from 1^2 miles- east of Blenheim westerly to the concrete east of Port Alma, a distance of 113^: miles. With the completion of this section there is continuous pavement from Windsor to a point 13 2 miles east from Blenheim, a distance of slightly over 70 miles. A gap of 19 miles immediately east of this work is the only unpaved section between W'indsor and Niagara Palls. On the Garrison Road east from Fort Erie mixed macadam was laid to a. point 1 mile east of Port Colborne about 17^2 miles, this completed the paving; of Highwa\' No. 3a. IMPROVEMENT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 23 The imporaiu cut-oft from ( "lappison's Corners, wliith connects Dundas Street to the (ialt Road, al)oui 7 ' •_> miles long was paved with mixed macadam. This same t\i)e of pa\ement was laid south from Caledon Mountain for a distance of 6 miles and also a 7-mile section between Acton and Rockwood, and about a mile north from Mount I'Orest. Hast of Toronto 5' 2 niiles west from l.indsa\' on the Lindsa\'-\\'hitby Road was pa\ed, using mixed macadam. On No. 2 Highwa\' (the Kingston Road) 10 miles of mixed macadam east and west from Xapanee were laid. The stone used in this paving was obtained b\ cutting and widening the hill immediately east of Napanee. Two and one-half miles were laid east from Brockville and 31 2 miles along the Canal Roads east of Cardinal, also 7 miles in the Township of Osnabruck through the X'illage of Aults\ille. On the Ottawa-Point I'ortune Road 6' 2 miles were laid east from Hawkesbur\-; this gives a continuous pavement from Ottawa to a point 63^ miles east of Hawkesburv. PROVINCIAL HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION, 1929 In 1<)29. in addition to a ver\- large mileage of higher types of pavement being laid, an increased maintenance programme over 1928 was carried out. Ninety miles of new grading w^as completed, nearly all of which was covered with crushed stone or crushed gravel which was allowed to consolidate under traffic. About 43 miles of retread were laid on \arious parts of the system, mosth' east of Kingston. The construction programme also included fifteen new bridges, and subwa^^s at Shannonville and Webster's Side Road, a large numlier of culverts were constructed and others lengthened. Pavement construction during 1929 consisted of: Cement concrete pavement 144 miles Asphaltic concrete (on black base) 2 " MLxed macadam 101 " Concrete Pavement On No. 3 Highway running between Windsor and Niagara Flails and known as the Talbot Road, 11J^4 miles of concrete pavement was laid from Kent County east limits westerly, also a new highway for crossing the Welland Canal, north of Port Colborne through the Milage of Humberstone, was completed. A very important piece of work consisted of paving two new entrances to Windsor, the southerly one of which will connect with the new Detroit-Windsor Bridge. An important gap of about 22 miles between London and Sarnia in the neighborhood of Strathroy and Waterford was completed. This will complete the pavement between Sarnia and London except for 3 miles at Masonville. With the paving this year of 73'2 miles northeast of P2lginfield the whole road between London and St. Marys is now completely paved with concrete. Four miles from Elginfield to Lucan was also paved. Concrete pavement was laid between Mildmay and Walkerton and also about 7 miles on the road south of Clinton and 6^2 miles from Harriston south to Teviotdale. Two very important gaps of about 14^2 miles, the one north of Orangeville and the other north of Caledon now give continuous pavement from Port Credit on Lake Ontario to a few miles north of Shelburne. About five miles of pavement was laid in the vicinity of Penetang and Midland, also eight miles of the centre section of the Barrie-Orillia Road. 24 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 The road taken over in 1928 from Nelson on Dundas Street southerly and westerly to connect with the Toronto-Hamilton Highway west of Burlington was completed as far south as Freeman before the end of 1929 construction season. East of Toronto with the completion of 9.6 miles north of Blackwater and l}/i miles west of Oakwood, pavement is now continuous for the whole distance between Whitby and Lindsay. Asphaltic Concrete Pavement Two miles of asphaltic concrete were laid on the Hamilton Highway, from Toronto citv limits to Mimico, and from New Toronto to Brown's Line. In this Mixed Macad;im Pavement on Highway Xo. 2, 3 miles west of Xapanee. case a pavement 20 feet in width was laid north of the existing highway- and consisted of a 3-inch asphaltic concrete top on a 8-inch concrete base. Mixed Macadam Pavement Mixed macadam laid b\- the Department of Highways is laid in two courses, each 3 inches after consolidation. About 5 per cent, of 71-80 pa\ing asphalt is used, and the pavement is finally sealed with medium liquid asphalt, covered with a coating of ^-inch stone chips. Local stone, local gravel and commercial stone and gravel were all used in the type of construction. A very important factor in the employment of this type of pavement is the fact that it can be laid under traffic and this does away with detours. Mixed macadam was laid on No. 3 Highwa\' for a distance of se\en miles from 1 ' •) miles east of Blenheim easterlv, also a se\"en-mile section of waterboiuid IMPROXKMKNT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 25 macadam between Dunnville and (\inl)()ro was topped with this type. The (■()nii)k-ti()n of the section east of RIenlieim j^ives continuous pavement from Windsor to Niagara l'"alls on No. -^ Hi.i;hwa\-. Over nine miles of pavement from Binkley's Sul)vvay up the Ancaster Mountain was resurfaced with mixed macadam. Fifteen miles of mixed macadam was laid l)etween Arthur and Mount I'orest. also sections east of Owen Sound and between Concord and WOodbrid^e. ICast of Toronto mixed macadam was laid i)etwcen Bewdiey and Fraserville, 832 miles. The paving of this gap completed the pavement between Peter- borough and Port Hope. About six miles east and west of Deseronto the existing waterbound macadam was topped with mixed macadam. East of Kingston a ten-mile section between Stittsville and Ashton was completed, also a section north from Perth. West from Cornwall mixed maciidam was laid for 11 miles on existing waterbound macadam, and on the Ottawa-Prescott, nearly 12 miles of mixed macadam was laid between Spencerville and Kemptville which com- pleted the pa\ement on this highway. 26 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY Xo. 47 Report on Bridges Completed on the Provincial Highways Arthur Sedgwick, Bridge Engineer Considerable more bridge work was carried out and completed during the years 1928 and 1929 than for some years past. The Hogg's Hollow Bridge was opened for traffic in the fall of 1928 and fully completed soon after. This is a high level bridge spanning the Don River on Yonge Boulevard and overcomes the long steep inclines to the Don River on Yonge Street. The bridge consists of eight steel spans of 136 feet each with a roadway fifty-four feet wide between curbs and two six-foot sidewalks. The bridge was designed to carry a future double track electric railway. The total Hogg's Hollow Bridge near Toronto. length of the bridge is 1,124 feet with a maximum height of 128 feet above the river and was constructed at a total cost of 8715,000. The bridge on No. 2 Highway at Oakville was lengthened at each end a distance of sixty-five feet. This work was required to relieve the pressure of the earth approaches on the bridge piers. \\'hen the bridge was first constructed the raising and widening of the earth approaches created an unstable condition in the soft underlying soil which it was found necessary to later relieve. The construction of these approach spans permitted the remoxal of the earth approaches which were slowly creeping towards the river. This work was commenced late in 1928 and completed early in the spring of 1929. A level crossing over the Canadian Pacific Railway at Puslinch on Highway No. 6 was eliminated by the construction f)f an overhead bridge. This work was carried out in concrete beam and slab design with a twent\-four foot road- wax- and one six-foot sidewalk. Provision was made for an additional railway track and the total cost, including earth approaches, was 826.000. An overhead crossing was also built over the Chatham-W'allaceburg and Lake Erie Railway at Cedar Springs on Highway No. 3 at a cost of 811.500.

Summerville Bridge over Etobicoke River on Highway Xo. 5. Shows unusual and economical type of pier. 28 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 Ten other bridges were built in 1928 in various parts of the Province. With the exception of the Musk Rat River bridge in Westmeath Township on Highway No. 17, which was a steel truss bridge of 80-foot span, these bridges were designed either as concrete beam or slab or concrete bowstring arches. In 1929 in addition to a much heavier year's programme planned for, much work was required as a result of the disastrous April floods occurring in south-western Ontario. In all, twenty-five bridges were completed and other important works commenced. Bridge on Highway No. 21, near Petrolia. Railway grade crossings were eliminated at Shannonville on Highway No. 2 in Tyendinaga Township; Webster Side Road on Highway No. 8a in Saltfleet Township; and at Prescott on Highway No. 2 in Edwardsburg Township. Among the larger works completed were the Kettle Creek and Dodd's Creek arches at the western entrance to St. Thomas on Highway No. 3 which were widened to provide for a thirty-foot roadway and six-foot sidewalks. North of Petrolia on Highway No. 21 a lOO-foot span concrete bow-string arch was constructed. At (\jbourg on Highway No. 2 a sixty-foot span bow-string arch with thirty- foot roadway and two sidewalks was built to replace an old concrete beam span which was in danger of collapsing. IMPROVEMKNT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 29 A two-span concrete beam hridjije, ninety feet long with thirty-foot roadway and two six-foot sidewalks was built over the Ktobicoke River at Summerville on lli^hvva\' No. 5. A feature of this work was the building of a forty-two foot roadwa>' with removable sidewalks. When tralhc requires it, the sidewalks nia\ be removed, leaving a clear fort>-two foot roadway and new sidewalks to be built outside the present guard rails. The bridge at Harnion\' on Highway No. 2 which collapsed during the si)ring flood was replaced by a double twent\'-foot span with forty-foot roadway and two sidewalks. The small arch bridge east of Markham on Highway No. 7 which also was washed out b\- the same flood was replaced by a single twenty- foot span. Kempt\ille Bridge, looking west. On Highway No. 22 the old through span steel bridge over the Medway Creek was replaced by a new steel deck span. The raising of the road grade permitted making this change which was a marked improvement and at a very low cost. The old stone abutments which were in fair condition were taken down to the level of the new bridge seat and faced with new concrete to form piers for the main span of the new bridge. Short approach spans at each end permitted a low abutment and wing-walls to be built on the existing approaches. The cost for this bridge, 150 feet long, amounted to SI 2, 000. A 100-foot steel Warren truss span was completed over the Sydenham River east of Strathroy on Highway No. 22 in Caradoc Township. Three concrete bridges were built in the Milage of Wainfleet on Highway 3a. One of these bridges being on a sharp curve, the floor was super-elevated one foot. This is the first example of such construction on highway bridges in Ontario at least. 30 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 A list of bridges completed on Proxnncial Highways during 1928 and 1929 is given in the general Report on Provincial Highways. During 1929 new designs for Standard Culverts were prepared by the Department. In addition to the responsibility of designing and supervising the construction of the bridge work on the provincial highway system, the Department examined and approved plans for 483 bridges and culverts. This service in addition to assisting in securing safe and trustworthy structures ensures a maximum of econom\" in design. The average municipal engineer is a general practitioner rather than structural engineering expert. By requiring, therefore, that plans for all bridges over ten feet in span be submitted to the Provincial Bridge Engineer for approval, assistance can be given in suggesting economical designs, thereby saving appreciably large sums to the province and municipality. IMPROVEMENT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 31 Report on Municipal Roads Report upon the work of the Municipal Roads Branch for the years 1928 and 1929 ROBERT C. MUIR, Chief Engineer of Municipal Roads. COUNTY ROADS Provincial aid to counties on road improvement is p;i\en through C"r)unty" Road vSystems, under The Highwa\' Improvement Act. The Hi,t;h\va\- Impro\ement Act was initiated in 1901, when an appropriation. of SI, ()()(), ()()() was made b\- the Pro\incial (lONcrnment with a view to aiding- Warrenite Bitulithic on Sutton Road between Big Flat and Crescent Beach. the construction of county roads; the Provincial subsidy being 33}^ per cent. To-day the Province contributes 50 per cent, of the expenditure made on county roads, including construction, maintenance, machinery and superintendence expenditure. Since the passing of The Highway Improvement Act, and to the end of 1929, a total of 897,362,730.32 has been expended on construction and main- tenance of county roads, of which the Province has contributed 844,930,980.68. This includes the county expenditure of 1929, on which the provincial subsidy was paid in 1930. A system of county roads has been established in each of the thirty-seven counties of the Province, although there are a few instances where only the more densely populated section of a county is included in the County Road System, such as the counties of \'ictoria, Peterborough, Lennox and Addington, Frontenac, and Renfrew. 32 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 At the end of 1929 the Province was paying subsidies to the counties on 8,095 miles of county roads — approximately 15.5 per cent, of the total road mileage in the area covered by the County Road System. Approximately 95 per cent, of the road mileage under the Cfjunty Road System has been surfaced with gravel, stone or other more permanent class of surfacing. Expenditure on count\- roads in 1928 was as follows: — Total Provincial Construction Expenditure Subsidy County roads $6,385,461 17 S3. 161,098 63 Maintenance County roads 2,398,959 25 1,199,124 23 Total expenditure $8,784,420 42 $4,360,222 86 The work on which the foregoing expenditure for construction was made included the following: Grading 570.53 miles Gravel roads Waterbound macadam Bituminous macadam Cement concrete Asphaltic concrete Total surfaced 415 29 miles 170 .60 (( 21 .66 (( 29 46 « 47 .42 (1 684 .43 miles Bridges over 10-foot span 66 Concrete slab culverts 201 Pipe and tile culverts 1,596 Tile underdrains 55 miles In addition, approximately 2,000 miles of stone and gra\'el roads were resurfaced.

Construitioii Work I'rohahK' the most noticeal)le feature in couiUn' road work within the past two \ears over the earl\' stages of the System has been the cfiiistruction of a substantial mileage of the more permanent types of surface, such as cement concrete, asphaltic concrete and bituminous macadam. The traffic on many of the count\- roads has increased in volume to such an extent that the main- tenance costs of gravel and stone roads reached a point where economy neces- sitated the laying of a surface which entailed a greater initial expenditure, but which, on acc(junt of the better service, will prove more economical over a period of years. It may be of interest to many, that prior to 1918 only 10 miles of permanent surfaces had been laid in the Province, to-day (end of 1929) we have approximately 655 miles of such surfaces on the County Road System alone. In addition to constructing pavements, many of the counties have carried out such important work as reducing grades and widening the present grades to meet the traffic requirements of the day, also the elimination of dangerous corners and railway crossings. Bridge and culvert construction has recei\ed full consideration. Approximately 75 bridges and 200 concrete slab culverts are being built annualh'. It may be said at this time that the engineers of the Department are endeavouring to encourage the counties to devote more attention to the eliminating of level railway crossings and improving the vision at danger- ous road intersections and thereb>- making our highways safer for the travelling public. Maintenance Work A large percentage of the expenditure on county roads is for maintenance and attention is drawn to the appendices of this report. This expenditure is essential for the protection of the in\"estment made in previously constructed roads. Road Accounting A uniform system of keeping road accounts has now been established in every county and the procedure of auditing the books of the county officials and the assistance given by the Department has been favourably received and appreciated by the counties. Urban Work During the years 1928 and 1929, 8806,838.84 and $967,489.80 respectively, were expended on county roads within the urban municipalities on which expenditure the Province refunded to the counties 8887,164.32, or 50 per cent, of the expenditure. These expenditures were chiefly for the building of more permanent types of pavement. As a result of the Province's and the counties' liberal assistance, eighteen urban municipalities had permanent pavements constructed during these two years. The type of pavements laid being cement concrete, asphaltic concrete on cement concrete or macadam base. In addition to permanent pavement construction, the existing surfaces w^ere repaired and maintained with the aid of the rebate from the county. 34 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 Road Conference The Fifteenth Annual Road Conference was held on the 25th and 26th of February, 1929, and was largely attended by county and township officials. The Conference is becoming more popular each year and is creating great interest among the township officials. Over three hundred were registered at this conference which was the largest meeting held since such conferences were started. The discussion following the addresses was interesting and brought out much valuable information. In addition, the county road superintendents and engineers held a one-day meeting, which took the form of a round table talk, and from the interchange of ideas it would appear to be in the interests of all concerned that such a meeting should be. made an annual affair. mm 9»Wimm^ Kennedy Road, north of Agincourt, 18-foot Pavement, 3-inch Penetration top on Macadam base. Several district meetings were also held during the year, arranged either by the Department or the municipalities. Such local meetings appear to create a good feeling between the municipality and the Department, and the information obtained is greatly appreciated by all those that attend. Special Features Among the special features of road improvement effected during the years 1928 and 1929, the following works may be mentioned. BRANT COUNTY In 1928, 3.2 miles of grading, 28 feet wide, was carried out and two miles surfaced with screened gravel, 18 feet in width.

IMPROVKMENT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 35 BRUCK COUNTY In 1928, 20 miles of road were graded, 26 to 30 feet wide, varying in length from ^2 mile to 3.5 miles. This work included considerable hill cutting and the removal of approximately 10, 000 cubic yards of rock. Bridge construction during the year consisted of two bridges of 20-foot span, two at 28-foot span, one at 40-foot span and one at 65-foot span. In 1929, twenty-two miles of road were graded 28 feet wide, and gravelled to a width of 22 feet. The grades of several hills were cut down under this grading operation and a "sink" hole was partially tilled with approximately 20,000 cul)ic yards of earth. The bridge construction consisted of 5 bridges, varying in span from 14 to 42 feet, also one at 70-foot span and one at 190-foot span. CARLETON COUNTY In 1928, approximately 2 miles of hot mix macadam surfacing was laid on a 6-inch water bound macadam base, 18 feet wide.

COUNTY SUBURBAN ROADS The motor car and motor truck have greatly advanced the general public value of the road, and whereas good roads were regarded a few years ago as solely of rural concern, urban centres have become keen'y alive to their value and are willing to bear a fair proportion of the cost. Instead of the farming population being expected to meet the entire cost, it is now fully conceded that as regards main roads, cities and separated towns must share the burden with any other department of transportation or traffic. Cities benefit by rural trade induced by tourist traffic; by the commercial and industrial traffic between cities. Provision is made under The Highwa\- Improvement Act whereby a city or separated town may co-operate with the county council in improving the leading county roads adjacent to the city or separated town and thereby obtaining a more substantial type of construction for such suburban road. The work on surburban roads is carried out under the direction of a com- mission, composed of three members when the city is less than 50.000 population and h\e members o\'er 50,000 population. At the end of 1929. twenty-two cities, all the cities within the organized counties, and three separated towns. Smith's F'alls, W'alkerville and Brockville, were paying toward the impro\ement of county suburban roads. The mileage of suburban roads is 718 miles, the expenditure on which at the end of 1929 amounted to 817,578,858.91, of w^hich the cities and the said separated towns have contributed 84,666.091.75 or 4.79 per cent, of the total expenditure made on the County Road System. Towards the expenditure on construction and maintenance and supervision of county suburban roads, the Province contributed 50 per cent., and the county and city each 25 per cent. The object of the city's contribution is not to relieve the county of the expenditure which they are equitably called upon to make, but rather to improve the standard of roads radiating from the city, and to permit them to be maintained in a condition suited to the traffic over them. Traffic accumulates on the main roads immediately adjacent to the city, and it becomes an unfair charge upon rural districts to construct and maintain roads suited to such accumulated traffic. In 1929, the expenditure on count\- suburban roads was 81.763.995.12 of which the Province contributed 8866,298.75 and the cities 8448,848.18. In 1928, the expenditure was 82,066,540.31 and the Province's share 81,001,932.16, the cities contributing 8532,304.07. During the years 1928 and 1929. the suburban road commissions constructed approximately 100 miles of permanent surfaces. The work on the county and county suburban roads has shown remarkable improvement during the past few years, and the counties and commissions in the majority of instances are to be commended on the method of carrying on the work. The construction of permanent pavements on suburban roads in the close \icinit\- of the city should be encouraged by all suburban road commissions. IMPROVKMRNT IN ONTARIO FOR 1928 AND 1929 41 INDIAN RESERVES Proxiiuial aid towards road iniprovemenl in Indian Reserves is provided by Sections 34 and 46 of The Highway Improvement Act. Section 34 provides that where a road in the reserve is a connecting link of the County Road System, the Proxince will contribute 50 per cent, of the expenditure made on such con- necting link. The purpose of this assistance is to establish uniformit\' of improve- ment throughout the ("ount\- Road System, as there are cases where these roads within the reserve are used e.vtensiveiy by through, or foreign traffic. On other roads (Section 46) within the reser\e, the Province contributes 40 per cent, on expenditure made thereon, such roads being placed in the same class as township roads. During the year 1929, the Reserves (jf Cape Croker, ("aradoc, Kettle and Stony Point, Sarnia, Saugeen, Six Nations and W'alpole Island received Provincial aid on a 50 per cent, basis. These reser\es expended 817,441.81. On a township road basis, the reserxes, in 1929, expended 839,923.03. There are 10 reserves accepting aid from the Province. The work within the reserves consists chiefly of grading and graxelling and the work in the majority of cases is to be commended. TOWNSHIP ROADS The township roeid pla\s a most important part in the development of this Province and the improvement of such roads must not be overlooked. Our township roads, in the early history of the Province, depended largely on Statute Labour for improvement, this system having been created by the first Parliament of the Province (then I'pper Canada) in 1796. In the old days, when traffic moved slowly on a narrow strip of gravel. Statute Labour served its purpose, but with the ad\ent of the motor car it has become obsolete as a road builder. Statute Labour still holds in a few localities but is growing weaker. Mone\- expenditure, raised by general levy on the township assessment, has been steadily increasing, and at the end of 1929, 337 townships had abolished Statute Labour, being approximately 92 per cent, of the townships in the organized counties. The total approved expenditure in 1929, of the 337 townships receiving aid under The Highway Improvement Act amounted to 86,505,200.84. Sub- sidies amounting to 82,105,741.41 were paid, being 30 per cent, of the cost of construction, maintenance, bridges, machinery, and 50 per cent, of the cost of superintendence. Apart from the actual financial assistance, the advice and co-operation of the engineers of the Department have been of untold value to the townships and are having a marked effect upon the nature of township road improvement throughout the Province. In bridge and culvert construction, n the elimination of dangerous curves, brush obstructions, narrow fills, and like matters, the impetus towards prompt action and the advice and guidance in the matter of methods and costs have been found to be sound and worthy of adoption. In 1928, 96 bridges and 219 concrete slab cuK^erts were built by the town- ships and numerous pipe culverts laid. In 1929, 265 bridges and 364 concrete slab culverts were built. Yearly the mileage of earth roads is diminishing, gravel, stone or other more substantial surface being employed to provide the farmer with a safe and convenient road in seasons of the year when he needs it most. As- in other years, work on township roads consisted chiefly of renewing^ worn-out surfaces and keeping them smooth by frequent dragging — that is. 42 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 expenditures were largely for maintenance, narrow grades are being widened out, swampy stretches cleared and drained, and effecti\'e watercourses established along roadsides to ensure a reliable road surface in all weathers. The main objective of every township council should be to provide the farmer with a safe and convenient road in seasons of the year when he needs it most. The following shows the growth of provincial aid to townships on road improvements, under the provisions of The Highway Improvement Act: 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 (184 townships) 1921 (294 1922 (312 1923 (315 1924 (320 1925 (272 1926 (295 1927 (307 1928 (324 1929 (337 $1,241 71 towards superintendent's salary 1,608 72 " " " 1,910 59 " " « 2,620 60 " " " 340,973 38 Commencement of aid on impro\ement. 708,486 91 649,601 47 614,037 88 638,940 11 988,633 29 1,317.146 17 1,619.169 74 1,802,640 64 2,105,741 41 $10,792,752 62 Standard of Work The class or standard of work to be done on municipal roads (county and township) will be governed largely by the importance of the road. The amount of traffic using the road will decide as to the amount of expenditure and the type of construction required on the work. Engineers of the Department The Department's engineers have now been established within the area allotted to them for the purpose of being closer in touch with the work and for lending their services to the municipal officials to the best advantage. The Department desires to assist and co-operate to the fullest extent with the munici- palities in the improvement of roads, and requests that the superintendents communicate with the district engineers of the Department before any permanent work is commenced. The engineers of the Department are at the services of the municipalities at all times in all matters pertaining to road impr()\ement.

P. niikoll. Rejiistrar of Motor \ chicles This report shows in detail — (1) the motor vehicle registrations for the Province for the years 1404 to 1928, inclusive; (2) the chauffeur and operator registrations for the years 1912 to 1928, inclusive; (3) the motor vehicle registrations for the calendar year 1928, arranged according to the residence of the owner and according to the model, horse-jwwer and number of cyliiMlers of passe. igcr cars, and the gross weight and t\pe of tires of commercial vehicles; (4) a financial statement for the fiscal year which has been duK' \erified for accuracy' by the Pro\incial Auditor; (5) a statement showing the revenue collected for motor vehicle permits, etc., from 1904 to 1928, inclusive; (6) a summary of the convictions registered under the Highway Traffic Act as rejiorted to the Branch by Police Magistrates during the calendar year; (7) a sum- mary showing the number of suspensions of permits and dri\ers' licenses from 1924 to 1928, inclusi\e. Registrations The registration of motor vehicles for the Province continues to increase annually, and during the \ear 1928 a total of 486,801 motor vehicles were registered as owned by residents of Ontario. It is interesting to note that in 1918 these numbered but 114,130. In ten years the registration of motor vehicles has increased by 325 per cent. Revenue On reference to the statements of revenue collected during the years 1927 and 1928 it is noted that every item, with the exception of operators' licenses, shows an increase. The decrease mentioned is attributable to the fact that the operators' licenses issued in July, 1927, were valid until December 31st, 1928, and, for that reason, there were not so many of these licenses issued. As a result of the coming into force of section 67 of the Act, requiring drivers to earn,- their licenses at all times, the re\enue collected for chauffeur licenses and for duplicate licenses, show a decided increase. The onl\- reduction in fees was made in connection with the two-purpose vehicle. This was reduced from $16.00 to $12.00. An item which appears in the statement of revenue for the first time is the amount collected for fees for public commercial vehicle licenses. Drivers' Licenses The issuance of chauffeur badges and non-professional certificates was discontinued in 1928. Suspensions and Revocations of Permits and Licenses The statement of permits and licenses suspended and revoked shows an increase both in the licenses suspended by Police Magistrates and those suspended by the Minister pursuant to sections 20 and 45 of the Act. This, I feel safe in saying, is due to a more rigid enforcement of the provisions of the law dealing with reckless driving and driving while into.xicated. Highway Traffic Officers The Force of Highway Traffic Officers was increased this year, and during the height of the tourist season a total of sixty-two officers were on the staff. Although the \olume of traffic was considerably greater, an improvement was noted in the conduct of drivers and a greater degree of care and courtesy was exercised b\' the majority of motorists both local and foreign. I am firmU- of the opinion, howe\er, that the effecti\eness of this Force would be materiall}' augmented were it possible to equip the men with uniforms. Public Vehicles During the year 1928 there were 522 licenses issued, 104 operators and 146 routes operated. A few changes took place, the most important being the change in ownership of the Metropolitan Bus Lines to the Toronto Transportation Commission and the Red Bus Lines to the same Com- mission. There was an increase in 1928 in the number of public \ehicles operated o\"er the previous year. Public Commercial Vehicles The Act to license and regulate the operation of trucks used as common carriers for the conveyance of more than one person's goods and running between two or more municipalities was brought into effect on September I7th, and a total of 945 licenses were issued up to the end of the year. Highway Safety Campaign The Highway Safety Committee, formed in 1927, continued to function during the year 1928 and carried on an aggressive educational campaign urging motorists to exercise "Care, 182 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 Courtesy and Common Sense" in the operation of their vehicles. Every met'.iod of advertising was used and the subject of safety was presented through the medium of newspaper ar.d periodical advertising, billboard posters, radio talks, motion picture exhibitions and by speakers provided for service and motor club functions. The efforts of this Committee were well received by the motorists and police departments and much good was accomplished, I am sure, as a result of its activities.

Ill .S.281 RKPOR'I' OF MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH. 1929 By J. P. BICKKLL, Registrar of Motor Vehicles This report shows in detail — (1) the motor vehicle registrations for the Province for the years 1904 to 1929, inclusive; (2) the chauffeur and operator registrations for the years 1912 to 1929. inclusive: l.^) the motor vehicle registrations for the calendar year 1929, arranged according to residence of the owner and according to the model, horse power, and number of cylinders of passenger cars, and the gross weight and type of tires of commercial vehicles; (4) a financial statement for the fiscal \ ear which has been duly verified for accuracy by the Provincial Auditor: i5) a statement showing the revenue collected for motor vehicle permits, etc.. from 1904 to 1929, inclusive; (6) a summary showing the number of suspensions of permits and drivers' licenses from 1924 to 1929, inclusive. Registrations In 1929 there were 531,393 motor vehicles registered as owned by residents of O.ntario as compared with 486,801 in the previous year. The steady increase of approximately 45,000 registrations each year is a convincing indication that the motor vehicle is now the popular mode of transportation. Revenue The total revenue for 1929 shows an increase of over $1,000,000. There was a general increase in that collected for all classes of permits and licenses, but particularly for operators' licenses and public commercial vehicle fees. The operators' licenses issued when the driver's license law came into effect expired on the 31st of December, 1928, and it was therefore necessary that these be renewed for 1929. This accounts for the fact that the rev^enue collected for this type of license was approximately five times greater than in the previous year. The Act regulating the operation of public commercial vehicles (common carriers) came into force in September, 1928. and consequently the revenue from this source added to the total revenue for 1929. The fee for the two-purpose vehicle was reduced from $12.00 to $9.00. Drivers' Licenses As previously stated the increase in the chauffeur and operator registrations was due to the enforcement of the driver's license law and to the fact that the operators' licenses issued in 1927 expired in December, 1928. Suspensions and Revocations of Permits and Licenses During the year 1929 there were 722 permits and licenses suspended for operating motor vehicles while intoxicated and 1,066 permits and licenses suspended for reckless driving, making a total of 290 more permits and licenses suspended for these offences than in 1928. In the case of a conviction for driving while intoxicated there was a gaol term imposed, as provided under the Criminal Code, then a suspension of license and permit by this Department of from one to three months for a first offence, from three to six months for a second and from one to two years for a third or subsequent offence. In the case of reckless driving the suspension period was imposed by the police magistrate before whom the case was tried. Highway Traffic Officers Owing to the fact that tourist traffic is becoming heavier each year our Force of Highway Traffic Officers was again increased. During the summer months there were se\enty-two men on the staff. They were all equipped with uniforms, thus adding to the dignity of their appearance and to the effectiveness of the Force. There was a rumour circulated that American tourists were being discriminated against but, in fairness to our officers, I would say that this was not a fact. Almost daily letters were received by the Department commending the courteous treatment and assistance rendered these tourists by our men. Eastern Conference of Motor Vehicle Administrators On September 5th and 6th the Eastern Conference of Motor X'ehicle Administrators met in Toronto with headquarters at the Royal \'ork Hotel. Many subjects uere discussed at the busi- ness meetings which were of interest to the Commissioners and which would be of assistance to them in the administration of their respecti\e departments. 190 REPORT UPON HIGHWAY No. 47 Highway Safety Committee The Highway Safety Committee continued its work during 1929 of educating the motoring public to operate with greater "Care, Courtesy and Common Sense." A large sum was appro- priated for advertising and through this means the aim of the Committee to make our highways safer avenues of travel was furthered. Radio talks were also given and a motion picture, dealing with the subject of safety, was shown at several theatres throughout the Province. Proposed Safety Responsibility Legislation On February 8th, 1929, the Honourable Mr. Justice F. E. Hodgins was appointed by Royal Commission to investigate and report on the advisability of the Province of Ontario introducing a compulsory insurance or safety responsibility law. During the week of November 4th I accompanied the Honourable Mr. Justice Hodgins and his party to Springheld and Boston, Massachusetts, and to Hartford, Connecticut, where the laws in force in those States were inspected. From observations made on this trip it would appear to me that the enactment of a financial responsibility law in Ontario similar to that in effect in the State of Connecticut would be more liable to accomplish the purpose intended than a compulsory insurance law similar to that in effect in the State of Massachusetts. Public Vehicles Although there was a decrease in the number of operators during 1929 there was an increase in the number of vehicles registered from 522 to 587. Several of the independent operators were bought out by the Toronto Transportation Commission and the Dominion Power and Trans- mission Company Limited, of Hamilton, these two companies now owning practically all routes in the Toronto and Hamilton districts. Another important merger was that of the Colonial Coach Lines Limited, which absorbed all of the small operators east of Kingston and inaugurated a service from Montreal to Toronto. Public Commercial Vehicles An increase in the number of vehicles operated under the provisions of the Public Commercial \ ehicle Act and a decided improvement in the services operated has beei S33n during the year 1929. While a general policy of restricting the issuance of new licenses has be^n adjp'ed the figures show an increase from 945 licenses issued in 1928 to 1,118 in 1929. The statements referred to in the first paragraph are appended hereto.

Hi:nkv, Prime Minister of Ontario, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontario Dfar Sir, — I have the honour to submit a copy of the report made t(j me by Dr. Speakman, Director of the Ontario Research Foundation, covering the work of the Foundation for the year ending December 31st, 1930. I desire to record grateful appreciation for the untiring, effective, and devoted service given by Dr. Speakman. He is gathering about him a staff of men and women in co-operative effort, who share with him in a significant sense of responsibility to the Legislature for the trust committed to the Foundation. I am increasingly impressed with what the Foundation may accomplish for Industry, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and the development of the natural resources of the country, if all concerned work together in team play, each bringing to a common effort the contribution which training and experience qualify him to offer. There are far-reaching benefits to be derived in bringing to practical knowledge and experience the spirit and findings of men trained in patient, scientific enquiry and investigation. We, of the Foundation, are but at the beginning of the work, and will gain in knowledge and experience as the years go by. May I express on my own, and the Director's behalf, appreciation of Mr. Ferguson's, your own, and your colleagues' generous and invaluable support. May I express similar appreciation to Departmental Officers for help afforded, and the hope that we may establish with all Departments of the Government a sense of our desire to work co-operatively with them in such service as we may be able to perform, in bringing a spirit of scientific enquiry to assist them in the practical work with which they are charged. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, J. W. Flavelle, Chairman.

Clidimuni. Dkak Sir. — At the commencement of the past year signs were already in e\idence that both industry and agriculture in this country were faced with serious problems. At that time many careful observers were of the opinion that the depression was largeK- due to a period of speculation which had been corrected and that in a short time conditions would return to normal. As interxening months passed, however, it has become increasingly evident that this dislocation of industry is not due to some simple and isolated cause, that it is world wide in e.xtent, and is due to a number of separate and rather complex phenomena. It is not my intention to attempt any detailed anaKsis of this situation but I merely record in passing that during the past year the work of the F"oundation, particularK' that which is based on an association with industry, has inevitably been influenced and in some measure determined by the prevailing conditions. Companies which twelve months ago refused to curtail expenditures on technical control and scientific research have gradually moved from this position, and I think it is justifiable to say that with few exceptions industry on this continent has been driven into a position of cutting down expenditures even in connection with what they understand to be almost vitally important departments. Twelve months ago we had observed no desire on the part of industrialists to discharge technical men and in this respect I distinguish this period of depression from that of 1921-22. During the latter period there was wide-spread unemployment amongst university-trained technical men. The change represents gradual but very definite realization of the importance of technical and scientific work in modern industry. Further evidence of this character is to be found in the report of the Technical Service Council which shows that even during the past twelve months a very large number of our graduates found suitable positions in Canadian industries and consequently a reduced number of these key men have been compelled b>' circumstances to leave this country. If companies which have been distinguished in the past for their sympathy and interest in scientific research have been compelled by prevailing conditions to curtail if not abandon activities along these lines, you will readily understand that it has been extremely difficult during the past year to make much progress in developing research activities amongst industrialists as a whole. Speaking generally and basing my observations on contacts with men engaged in a wide range of manufacturing activities, I think I am justified in stating that few if any of the business executives question the principle of applying scientific knowledge to industry, but in stating this I do not wish to imply that the acceptance of the principle necessarily involves any attempt to put it into practice. The problem THE REPORT OF THE which has been presented to us by men who undoubtedly support the Foundation in principle has been one of expediency in view of the pressing economic problems, and it is difficult to do anything other than sympathise with this point of view. It is, however, necessary to reiterate more insistently than before the vital principle that scientific research and technical control are just as essential to a well-organized industrial company as the office administration or the machinery in the plant. Manufacture has been considerably retarded all over the world during the last twelve months but active creative efifort of research laboratories has not altogether ceased. The tendency to think in terms of purely quantitative cycles in production may prove fatal to individual companies or an entire industry. There is a qualitative change constantly taking place, not merely are new methods causing serious disturbance in the relative position of different members in any one industry but competition between different industries and different commodities, largely based on scientific research, is so persistent and so intense that the very existence of one or the other may be at stake. I need only mention in this connection the profound disturbance created in the textile industry by the discovery and energetic development of methods for the manu- facture of artificial silk. In recent conversation with a merchant of hardwood I learned something of the difficulties which his industry is encountering at the present time. A few days later one of my colleagues visited a plant in the Province which is working under great pressure turning out "hardwood" trimming manufactured by an ingenious process from something which was not hardwood at all. The chief executive of an engineering company recently expressed the view at one of our meetings that his own particular industry has moved, technically and scientifically, more during these last twelve months of so-called depression than during the previous ten years. During the early stages of our work it was only possible to illustrate the effectiveness of a research laboratory by calling upon the experience of others. During the last year, however, the laboratories have been available for eight months continuously and we are now able to look back over a short period and discover what the effects, if any, have been. There have been no spectacular nor epoch-making discoveries. In the first place by far the greater portion of our time has been taken up by an earnest effort to assist industrialists in the solution of pressing problems and not very much time has been left for the consideration of those fundamental questions which ultimately are the most fruitful. It would not be difficult, howe\'er, for me to assemble concrete examples which would justify the statement that important savings and improvements have been brought about greatly in excess of the total amount spent on the Foundation. In the second place, fundamental scientific research by the very nature of things occupies in some instances lengthy periods of careful experi- mentation and not infrequently the results obtained are negative in character. During the past year steps have been taken to commence in each department of the Foundation a certain amount of scientific work which has originated within the Foundation itself. This work is concerned with the fundamentals of each subject and whilst the results obtained may have a bearing on the methods of manufacture of raw materials the spirit of the enquiry is that of pure science rather than more immediate practical returns. The agricultural interests of the Pro\ince have not escaped the effects of prevailing conditions, and in discussing this problem I shall confine myself to those questions with regard to which scientific men can speak with some ONTARIO R1:S1:AR(. 11 lUl XDATION FOR 1930 9 autlK>rity, namely facts based on scientific experiments and observations. It was recentJN' brought to my attention that in Canada as a whole there is an approximate annual loss of S2(), ()()(), 000 due to i)arasites in animals. The experience of the last fifty \ears has shown what can be accomplished by a polic\- of sani(ar>- control and treatment based upon thecarefui studN' of competent scientists. I raise the tjuestion as to what could be accomplished if the scientific knowledge alread>' a\ailable, coupled with the observations obtained from a more serious study of outstandinji examj)les, could be used as a basis for an educational campaijiii amongst the farmers and breeders of the Pro\'ince. It is alarming to discover that in s])ite of this annual loss we have not, in the country as a whole, a single scientific man devoting his whole time to the study of animal parasites. In this connection it is impossible to exaggerate the supreme importance of the practising veterinarian. I'jjon his shoulders must rest, to a large extent, the task of dealing with problems of this t\pe and it in\-ol\es knowledge and skill on his part and a willingness on the part of the individual farmer to make use of these services. There has been clear e\idence during the last two years of a sincere desire on the part of the profession in this Froxince to take advantage of every opportunity afforded them to gain new experience and to possess available scientific facts. \Miat could be accomplished by a programme of this character has been demonstrated in the United States in the increased production at reduced cost of hogs, and 1 \enture to predict that b\- a co-operative effort considerable savings to the farmers in this Province could be Ijrought about. During the last few months we have been in communication with a large number ot district representatives and obtained from them information with regard to \ields obtained in their districts of various crops. This information has been reduced to a simple table which follows, showing the variation in these \ields. TABLE 1 APPROXIMATE ANNUAL VARLATION IN YIELD OF FARM CROPS IN ONTARIO Crop Min. Yield Max.

The need for thinking along such lines is also clearly indicated if we take the average yield in Ontario, of potatoes for example, and compare it with the average yield in other countries and districts as shown in Table 2. 10 THE REPORT OF THE TABLE 2 A\'ERAGE YIELDS PER ACRE OF WHEAT AND POTATOES IN ONTARIO AND OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD Name of Country Wheat Yield per acre 10-year average Name of Country Potatoes Yield per acre 5-year average Denmark 44.4 42.0 41.9 39.7 38.9 33.3 32.9 31.0 30.3 30.1 29.6 27.3 25.2 21.5 ' 16.6 Invermere, B.C L735 (1 plot) 1,145 Shantung, China Colorado, U.S.A Belgium Netherlands 265 Scotland Belgium Maine, U.S.A Netherlands Scotland England and Wales North Ireland Norwa\' 262 255 England Irish Free State North Ireland 250 230 230 Switzerland 228 Sweden New Zealand Germany Egypt Denmark Switzerland New Zealand Germany Canada ONTARIO 223 220 212 192 ONTARIO 150 Canada 113 The extreme yields obtained in Colorado and Invermere may be regarded as exceptional, but it will be seen that the average for most countries, with the exception of Canada, is almost double the yield obtained in Ontario. The Foundation is not in a position to suggest any simple remedy which will abolish in a short time these inequalities in production but as I shall show later in this report we are, with very limited resources, endeavouring to state clearly and definitely what are the conditions of soil, climate and cultivation which bring about optimum yields of individual field crops. The investigation already carried out has indicated that in certain soil conditions, for example, it is impossible to obtain a yield of potatoes sufficient to justify the expense of seed and the labour involved. This challenge to higher yields suggests immediately the possibility of greater production and at the present time arouses the criticism that under present conditions it is folly to talk of more agricultural produce. I would suggest, however, in the first place that greater efficiency does not necessarily involve greater production, and even if that were so I believe that over a period of years the success attending such an undertaking, even though a reduced price is obtained, would stabilize agriculture in this Province and remove the serious handicap of high production charges. During the past year the subscriptions promised by private persons and companies have been paid punctually and with a completeness which is extremely gratifying. We have received during the past year a total amount of 8722,160.00. At the present time the endowment fund amounting to S2, 059, 190.60 is invested in high-grade bonds with an average maturity of 23 years and effecti\-e \-ield of 5.23 per cent. In addition to the income received from these investments the Foundatifjn has been recompensed for work done on behalf of Goxernment Departments, associations and private concerns to the extent of 844,176.01. Last year we closed with a small deficit, but this year's accounts show an operating surplus of 810,761.14. With the experience of the past two years and the system of records and accounts established by the Secretary we can now plan our work ahead and maintain a closer agreement between revenue and expenditure. ONTARIO KISi:\K( H lorXDAIlON lOK ]')M) 11 In tlie Spring of the \'ear we ohiaiiied possession of the new Imildiii^ and lor the fust lime lacilities were a\ailal)le for research work in those deparlnients rec|iiirin^ the use of heavy e(|uipnient, such as metallurgy and chemical enj;ineerinj^. The sj)ace a\ailable has gradually been occupied as fresh problems arose for iinestigation. We are now etiuipped to carry on scientific research in textiles. biocheinistr\-. bacteriologA'. animal pathology, leather, fuels, gas, ceramics. chemistr\-, plusical and chemical metallurg>'. This list is a reflection of the encouraging number of contacts established with industry and agriculture, which Is also indicated by the growth of the staff. A year ago ten full-time investigators were at work and at the close of 1^30 the corresponding number was sixteen. IMie work performed by the staff of necessity varies in subject matter and imj)ortance. To an increasing extent the time of the senior members of the staff is occupied in personal inter\iews with visitors to the Foundation. Many entjuiries can be answered b\- personal interviews or a brief search of the literature, l-rom this type of work we pass by gradual stages to the type of investigation which requires months of patient experimentation. In many instances it has been possible to follow up the reports and recommendations made b\- the staff and I feel justified in stating that savings or increases in turn over ha\e resulted, greatl\- exceeding in value the total expenditure by the Foundation. It is impossible to express in financial terms the more indirect and intangible benefits to the Province. In the plans for the new building we included a small lecture room. This has been used not onK- by the staff but on two occasions during the year meetings were held in the room which were addressed by visiting scientists. Mr. J. G. Pearce. Director of the British Cast Iron Research Association, and Dr. Robert F. Mehl of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory both gave helpful and interesting lectures to groups of technical men in the metallurgical field. On these occasions the laboratories of the Foundation were thrown open and those attending the lectures spent some time inspecting the apparatus and discussing the work in progress with the staff. The Library has increased in proportion to the growth of the Foundation and there are now about fifteen hundred text-books and bound journals on the shelves, as well as several thousand reprints and Government reports. We have been fortunate in securing back numbers of some of the most important journals in chemistry and metallurgy and hope to add to this number as sets of value become available. The greatest increase has been in the number of current periodicals recei\ed by the Foundation. It was felt that in this way it would be possible to keep in touch with the latest information on subjects of special as well as general interest, and at the present time we receive regularly about one hundred and sixty scientific and trade journals. The majority of these periodicals are subsequentK- bound and all are available for future reference. Attached to this report is a record of papers published by members of the staff during the year in various scientific journals. It is largely due to the interest shown by the staff in this side of the work that it has been possible for them to make these contributions to scientific literature in spite of the pressure of more immediate practical problems. It is my opinion that to as large a degree as possible the income derived from the invested trust fund should be devoted to 12 THE REPORT OF THE the support of investigations which are concerned with fundamental research. There is no arbitrary division between pure and appHed science, and the most practical contribution the Foundation can make to the development of industry and agriculture is by patient enquiry into basic scientific problems associated with them. In addition such a policy is justified by the generally accepted view among scientific men that the best training for the consideration and solution of the practical problems is a broad general education and research experience in fundamental work. It is hoped that as time goes on the experience gained in these laboratories by graduates of our universities will add something to their efficiency and help them to become valuable officers in the technical and scientific departments of Canadian industry and agriculture. DEPARTMENT OF TEXTILE RESEARCH Early in the year it was necessary to add to the staff of this division owing to the steadily increasing amount of work. The situation was explained to Professor A. F. Barker of the University of Leeds and to Dr. S. G. Barker, Director of the \\'ool Industries Research Association, whovery kindly co-operated in our attempt to secure a suitable man. We were fortunate in securing Dr. A. C. Goodings who at the time was engaged in fundamental research in the Textile Department of the I'niversity of Leeds. In addition to his training in the fundamental sciences and in textile technology. Dr. Goodings has had a varied experience in the practical side of textile work. Before leaving for Canada, again owing to Dr. Barker's kindness, he was permitted to spend a month in the research laboratories of the Association at Leeds. From what has already been accomplished I feel sure that Dr. Goodings will make a real contribution to the scientific and technical development of the woollen industry in this country. In July, Mr. C. \V. Ewing resigned from the staff' after giving eighteen months of faithful service to this department. Mr. Arnold \\'ooller, a graduate of the College of Technology, Manchester, was appointed to the staff. Since coming to this country Mr. \^'ooller has been activeU' engaged in scientific work relating to the textile industry. He is well qualified to carry on the routine work of the laboratories. It has been our desire from the commencement to move as quickly as possible in the direction of fundamental research in this department without sacrificing in any way the day-to-day services which the staff' are rendering to the Canadian Woollen Manufacturers Association. During the last few months a separate research laboratory has been equipped and a limited amount of work has already been carried out, largely in connection with the absorption of moisture by wool in the raw and manufactured condition. There is no more important question to the wollen textile manufacturer than the numerous and varied problems associated with the response of wool to changes in moisture content. Practically all the technical information available is based upon processing in the humid atmosphere of Cireat Britain and other countries. It is well known that speaking generalh- the atmosphere under (\inadian conditions is dry. At the present time there is a lack of definite information with regard to the rate at which woollen goods in various stages of manufacture adjust themselves to humidit\" changes. I'ndcrlying these practical problems is the more funda- ONTARIO Rl. SI, ARC 11 IQI NDA 'H(J.\ I (JR 19J(J 13 mental srientific (iiiestion as to the exact nature of the rhannes which take I)laie when wool takes up or ^ives off moisture, and in addition what are the physical and c hcinical properties of wool containinff different amounts of water. At the |)reseiit time the lal»orator\' is K'^'''iK service to members of the Association in connection with testinj^ and control work along the following lines: (1) Chemical testing; (2) Physical testing; (3) Testing for the presence of adulteration in textile products; (4) Analysis of fabric and yarn structure; (5) Stud\' of defects and their removal or elimination from the process; (6) Study of plant methods; (7) Ouantitati\e study of mixtures of textile fibres; (8) Dyes. In addition to these branches of work which make up the bulk of that undertaken for the Association we have received occasional requests for assistance in regard to methods of costing, and each month there is a steadily increasing demand for assistance in the improvement of plant methods. The day-to-day records of this department show that whereas during the year 1929 the specific enquiries attended to were 289 in number, the corresponding figure in 1930 was 488. In view of the fact that industry on the whole was in a depressed condition during the past year it is encouraging to record that the amount of work performed by the laboratory has again almost doubled in comparison with the preceding year. This increase is being maintained and I can only interpret it as being an indication of the increasing desire on the part of the manufacturers to improve their product, and to some extent at least it is an indication that this department is giving satisfaction to the members of the Association. At regular intervals during the last nine months Dr. Goodings has visited the plants of different members and is gradually establishing a personal contact with the operating executives of the woollen industry. One immediate result of these visits is almost always a recjuest for information and the investigation of problems, and furthermore these visits have led to calls being made by these gentlemen who inspect the laboratories and discuss personally with Dr. Goodings their individual problems. In order to make this exchange of ideas profitable it is becoming increasingly evident that the Library both of books and technical journals must be kept at a high standard. If the Foundation contained no laboratories whatsoever but merely acted as a technical centre for the dissemina- tion of current information its existence would be amply justified. Within the limit of its resources, therefore, an attempt is being made not only in this but in other departments to collect and have easily available up-to-date technical and scientific information. During the past year I w^as requested to receive a deputation from the Automobile Manufacturers Association who requested information concerning the Foundation and its method of operation with a view to the establishment of a research fellowship. After some preliminary discussion and an inspection of the laboratories the fellowship was established to undertake in the first place an investigation of the fabrics manufactured in Canada for use in the upholstery of motor cars. An advisory committee representing both the manufacturer of these fabrics and the automobile manufacturer has been appointed. It was necessary to secure immediately a competent scientist to undertake this work under the general direction of Dr. Goodings, and early in 1931 I expect Dr. R. O. Hall of the University of Leeds to commence this work. In preparation for the actual investigation which is to be undertaken Dr. Goodings has made a preliminary visit to various plants and in consultation with the committee has 14 THE REPORT OF THE prepared a programme of research which will at first be concerned mainly with problems of colour. A special laboratory for this type of investigation has been prepared and the necessary equipment purchased. DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGY During the early part of 1930 the new building was completed, and in the months of February and March the time of the staff was largely occupied in supervising the erection of furnaces and other equipment in the new laboratories. From the first of April onwards most of the apparatus was installed and ready for use. No mention was made last year of the facilities provided for metallurgical research and it may be of general interest to know how the various laboratories are equipped. Furnace Room One 35 kv-a. Converter System and Induction Furnace. One 50 kw. Box-t\pe Annealing Furnace fitted with Globar heating elements, Maximum Temperature 1350° C. One 29 kw.

L. Sherman was appointed to be responsil)Ie for the work in the Chemical Lal>oratory. The creation of tliis department arose primarily as a response on the part of the Foundation to a recjuest from the Ontario Chapter of the American Societ\- for Steel Treatini:; that suitable facilities both with rej^ard to personnel and e(}uipment should be pro\ided for metallurgical research. We requested that the manufacturers on their part should organize themselves into a research association to take an interest in and to support financially the work of the department. As a result of several meetings and an intensive campaign, largely through the distribution of bulletins and other literature, about sixty firms agreed to join the Ontario Metal Industries Research Association. This number is lamentably small when we remember that communications were sent to roughly 700 individual companies scattered throughout the Province. The bulletins sent out contained a careful description of the objects of the Association and the facilities which the Foundation was providing for the investigation of day-to-day problems. This literature also brought to the attention of the members the type of information available in the Library, reports on recent developments in metallurgy, and original work under investigation by the stafif. In addition to the reluctance of manufacturers to incur any additional expenditure during this period of acute business depression I am sure that the relatively small membership of O.M.I.R.A. is due to the somewhat novel principle underlying co-operative research. I'ndoubtedly as time goes on more companies will realize the benefits of membership in this Association and I look forward to the formation of smaller groups with scientific interests in common who will support specific research fellowships, and so enable the department to cover more adequately the large field for which it is responsible. One of the members of O.M.I.R.A. is supporting at the present time a full-time worker for the investigation of a major problem. The time of Mr. Ellis and his staff has been almost fully occupied on the work sent in b\- various members of the Research Association. We have refrained from engaging in any routine analytical work and all the questions submitted by members have involved to a greater or lesser extent laboratory investigations. In all forty reports have been sent to one or more members. Some of these reports have necessitated detailed investigation of materials and processes, and the recommendations based on these results have brought about important changes in the products made by the members. Characteristic specimens of these reports are listed below: Mechanical Properties of Steels Drawn at \'arious Temperatures Subsequent to Quenching at One Temperature. Heat Treatment of Spring Clips for Automobiles. Report on Welds Made b\- the Atomic-hydrogen Arc-welding Process. Investigation of the Design and Mechanical Properties of Turnbuckles. 16 THE REPORT OF THE Report on Fatigue Properties of Steel. Study of the Preparation of Sheet Steel for the Enamelled Parts of Automobiles. Report on the Mechanical Properties of Heat-treated Steel for Agricultural Implements. Report on the Mechanical Properties of High-strength Cast Iron. In addition to these investigations a large number of enquiries have been made either personally or by letter which could be answered without experimental work in the laboratories. In many cases these replied have resulted in quite appreciable savings to the companies concerned. This branch of the work, as is the case in other departments, is gradually increasing and a large proportion of the time of Mr. Ellis is occupied in this way. Insofar as it interferes with the prosecution of laboratory in\estigations the situation is unfortunate but on the other hand there is convincing evidence that by making scientific and technical knowledge available to the members of the Association, real service is being rendered. It is our hope that gradually more and more of this work will be done in the various plants by technical officers of the companies, thereby Hberating the stafT of the Foundation for more fundamental investigations. During the past year three large and two small reports have been issued to the members of the Research Association as a whole. The three quarterly reports contained notices of meetings, lists of reports issued to members, visits made to various plants and a very complete set of abstracts of articles in metallurgical literature. The two smaller reports were in the form of monthly bulletins but contained no abstracts. During the year recognition of the fact was made that "Metals and Alloys" was providing for its subscribers an excellent abstract service and to avoid duplication of efTort use is now being made of the published abstracts which are brought to the attention of members of the Association. In addition to the work originating in the plants of members of the Research Association, an attempt has been made to have some independent fundamental research work performed by the three senior members of the staff. Mr. Ellis has at irregular intervals been devoting his attention to an investigation on the effect of Nickel on Bronze. A series of forty-five alloys varying in nickel content up to 8 per cent, and in tin content to from 10 to 15 per cent, have been prepared and examined. Interesting results have already been obtained but it is too early to state definitely what are the conclusions to be arrived at. Mr. Sherman is studying the effect of Cold Work on metals and alloys. He has been specially interested in confirming the existence of a critical range of deformation in copper and has succeeded in doing so in the case of >^-inch wire. This work will also be continued. At the request of the Minister of Mines, the Hon. Charles McCrea, the Foundation has undertaken an investigation of some of the properties of Ontario iron ores. Since the month of September, Mr. Gordon has been devoting his whole time to this investigation. With the co-operation of the Deputy Minister of Mines and officers of his Department we have secured large fresh samples of ore from six deposits in the Province: (1) New Helen. (2) Atikokan. (3) Moose Mountain, (4) Grand Rapids, (5) Lount Township. (6) Animiki. The material sent in from each of these deposits has been crushed, sampled and analyzed. Towards the end of the year Mr. Gordon's time was largely devoted to the ONTAklO kl.SI \R( H lOiNDAl'lON lOK \9M) H (iesiiiiiin^ and ert'ction of an elertrically heated furnace for the purpose of stud>in.n the reducihiUty of these ores with both gaseous and sohd-reducing agents, inrluding hgnite char obtained from Onakawana lignite (Northern Ontario). The experimental data obtained during the progress of this research will undouhtedK' he of \alue to ojjerators who may contemplate the use of these (jres on a commercial scale. The machine shop which is an integral part of this department has not only rendered most useful ser\ice in the preparation of test pieces for investigation 1)\' members of this department, but in addition has proved a most useful assistance to the Foundation as a whole during the past year. Several pieces of e\j)erimental a{)i)aratus ha\e been constructed and are now being used in various researches in the I'\)undation. DEPARTMENT OF VETFRLXARV SCIENCE Before joining the staff of the Foundation, Dr. Hadwen had for sometime been engaged in an investigation of the factors controlling the production of pigment in the hair and skin of various animals. As a continuation of this work Dr. Hadwen during the past year has made a thorough investigation of the mechanism of pigment production associated with melanosis in animals. A report of the work was presented at the Winnipeg meeting of the British Medical Association, and in a short time two scientific papers will be ready for publication. Owing to the co-operation of ofificers of the Federal Department of Agriculture and the various meat-packing plants in the district, the staff of this department have been provided on many occasions during the year with interesting material which merited inxestigation. As an example I should like to mention briefly the damiige done to the intestines of pigs by thorn-headed worms (Macracan- thorynchus hirudinaceous) . The majority of these pigs came into the plants from Kent and Essex Counties, and the damage to the intestine is such that the material is seriously affected and unfit for use in the production of sausage casings. At the present time no information is available as to the extent of the damage done to the general health of the pigs infected with this parasite. We are hoping also to secure more information with regard to the life of the parasite and the alternate host, in this case a white grub. At present no one know-s which species carry the larvae of the parasites in Ontario and on this account protection cannot be instituted with any intelligence other than to keep the pigs closely confined. During the autumn months our attention was called to a number of cases of Red Water in cattle which had been found to exist sporadically in the Guelph district. In co-operation with Dr. Cote of Guelph the staff of the department have examined a number of cases and one animal was purchased and autopsied to secure as complete a record of the disease as possible. It has been found that the disease is more common than we first supposed, and it is hoped that in co-operation with the practising veterinarians in whose districts cases are know^n to occur progress will come in the elucidation and treatment of the disease. A preliminary report of the work was presented at a recent meeting of the Ontario \'eterinarv Association. 18 THE REPORT OF THE The destruction of the hides of cattle by warbles is sufficiently well known to make it unnecessary to discuss the situation in great detail. At the present time the staff are arranging for the treatment of several herds by a simple method to prevent the penetration of the hides by the destruction in situ of the parasites. The results obtained so far are very encouraging but until the records are more closely studied during the summer months it will be impossible to state accurately what the results of these tests have been. In addition to this method for the destruction of these parasites Dr. Hawden and his colleagues in collaboration with Dr. Kingscote of the Ontario \'eterinary College are investigating the possibility of immunizing stock against them. It is hoped at the same time to secure additional information with regard to the migration of the parasite through the animal body. The programme of research under way at the present time in the department has only been made possible by the co-operation of the Provincial and Federal Departments of Agriculture, the Ontario X'eterinary College and an increasing number of practising veterinarians who are co-operating with the staff particularly in field work and the securing of animal material for investi- gation. The programme of field work and laboratory investigation in connection with Contagious Abortion in cattle which was briefly outlined in my first report w^as continued during the past year. Information from twenty-two herds covering a period of nine months is now on record. This group of herds was composed of those associated with Government institutions, with breeders of high-grade stock and typical Ontario farmers, so that the composite picture is a fairly representative one. The blood of each animal was submitted to the agglutination test at regular intervals, a large number of milk samples and the products of abortions were tested, and parturitions were submitted wherever possible to a careful bacteriological investigation. A report of the work was submitted to the Minister of Agriculture, Col. The Hon. T. L. Kennedy, by the Chairman of the Advisory Committee, Dr. T. A. Russell. In his summary of the work accomplished Dr. Russell calls attention to one or two significant and important figures. The abortion rate per annum in positive and suspicious animals was 13.7 per cent, compared with a rate of 1.2 per cent, for negative animals. Losses from premature births and still-born full-time calves increased the calf loss to 16.8 per cent, per annum in reacting cows compared with a rate of 1.3 per cent, for the negative group. In the positive and suspicious group of animals the herd records kept by those in charge indicate the presence of 17.7 per cent, for irregular breeders, the corresponding figure for the negative group of breeders being 3.9 per cent. Retained placentae occurred in 5.2 per cent, of the positive group against 0.4 per cent, in the negative. Basing his conclusions on these results and on the known figures for breeding cattle in the Province as a whole, Dr. Russell is of the opinion that this disease is causing an annual loss to the Province in the neighbourhood of three and a half million dollars. There has been, and still is, a considerable amount of discussion amongst \eterinarians and the owners of live stock as to the \-alue of the agglutination test. Our records show that provided the samples of blood are carefully collected and the test carried out with the necessary precautions that whilst it is not perfect it possesses a high degree of efficiency and can be used satisfactorily in the detection and eradication of Bang's disease. The confidence of the workers in this department in the test has been supported by the records obtained from herds in which control measures were attempted based on the agglutination test. ONTARIO Ri:si:.\KC 11 I (Jl XDATIOX lOR UJ30 19 In einlit cases some system of control has heen introduced and at the end of the first >ear four out of the ei^ht were entirely clean and in each of the other four cases only one positi\e or sus|)icious animal was to be found. A larj^e aniouni ol lal)(iralor\' experimental work has been carried (»ut in connection with this disease during the past year. In an attempt to obtain a lead for the de\elopment of some method of pre\-ention a careful study was made of the effect of killed cultures and filtrates of Br. abortus. If any of these preparations had shown promise in the pre\ention of infection in guinea jiigs it was planned to continue the work in cattle. So far preparations of the organism killed by heat, phenol, formalin and chloroform have not afforded any protection to \accinated animals when submitted to experimental inoculation. The criterion of inxestigation used was the de\elopment of lesions in the spleen after inoculation through the eye and by mouth. The techni(jue de\elo|)ed l)y Dr. Gwatkin in this work has enabled \er\- satisfactory results to be obtained even though the>- are f)f a negati\e character. Dr. Gwatkin is continuing his search for a bacteriophage against Br. abortus. The hope is that if some lytic agent of this nature could be de\eloped a possibility oi its use on animals would be of great importance. In the search for some chemical reagent which might be of value in the treatment of the disease, a careful study has been made of the action of formalin and mercurochrome. Both these chemical compounds were found out to be of no value. The scientific studies carried out during the year ha\e been full\' written up and will shortl\- be published in scientific journals. We are greatly indebted to the Advisory Committee for their constant encourage- ment and support. The work has only been made possible by the co-operation of the owners of herds and those in charge of them. We are indebted to them for the records which ha\e been kept and also for the material sent in to the laboratories for examination. During the last Royal Winter Fair a meeting w^as called for the purpose of presenting to interested stock breeders and others the work done by the Foundation in this connection and to discuss generally the problem of Bang's disease. Interesting addresses were given by Dr. T. A. Russell, Dr. George Hilton, Veterinary Director-General; Professor J. G. FitzGerald and Dr. Gwatkin. The meeting was well attended. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY During the past year the vacant space allotted to this department in the new building has been gradually taken over and equipped for chemical investigation. At the present time the staff consists of the Director, four Research Fellows and four laboratory assistants. Five separate laboratories are equipped for investigations along the following lines: (1) ceramics, {2} fuel, (3) gas, (4) physics, (5) general chemistry. The ceramics laboratory contains the bare essentials for determining the routine drying properties of small clay test pieces, and sufficient special apparatus in connection with the specific problem relating to the effect of mechanical pressure. No kilns, dryers or other large equipment has been purchased because up to the present there has been no demand for inv^estigations 20 THE REPORT OF THK along these lines. The fuel laboratory is well equipped for routine fuel testing, particular mention should be made of the Gray-King low-temperature assay apparatus. The equipment of the physics laboratory has been purchased mainly in connection with the measurement of radio active material in minerals and geophysical investigations. The gas laboratory is very completely equipped for routine gas testing and also for the special research in progress at the present time. Mention was made in last year's report of the technical and economic survey which Dr. \\'estman was making in connection with the production of electrolytic hydrogen and oxygen. The assembly of reliable cost data was made possible only by the generous co-operation of several companies in Canada and the United States. A preliminary report was submitted to the technical officers of several companies and to specialists in the universities. It was only after this prolonged and careful investigation that Dr. Westman finally published a paper entitled "The Production of Electrolytic H\-drogen and Oxygen." In this same general connection mention should also be made of a paper which was read by Dr. Westman at the Ottawa meeting of the Canadian Chemical Society, in which he discussed the use of oxygen in the manufacture of producer gas. It has been gratifying to receive from companies interested in the production of synthetic ammonia expressions of their appreciation of this work. At the request of the Department of Mines, Mr. McDowell examined the gamma-ray activity of uraninite and concentrates from the W'ilberforce radium deposit. The measurements were made with a special type of electroscope built in the workshop of the Foundation. The results obtained indicate that the use of the radium-uranium ratio was justified in calculating the radium content of W'ilberforce uraninite. The concentrates used in this investigation were kindly supplied by the Department of IVIines, Ottawa. The main problem under investigation in the fuel laboratory is in connection with the technical development of the Onakawana lignite deposit. Early in the year it was decided to appoint a fully qualified fuel technologist to be responsible for this work. A request was made to Dr. Sinnatt, Assistant-Director of the Fuel Research Station at Greenwich, England, to secure if possible a suitable man for this appointment. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sinnatt and the Fuel Research Board for making it possible for Mr. Tasker, one of their senior officers, to relinciuish his post and join the staff' of the Foundation. Before leaving for Canada, Mr. Tasker spent some time in London establishing contacts and making provision for continuous supplies of information relating to fuel developments in Europe. He also visited Germany and represented the Foundation at the World Power Conference in Berlin. He then made a careful survey of the operating lignite mines in Germany and the processes relating to the utilization of the fuel. As a result of this visit and the contacts which Mr. Tasker made in Germany we have now available the essential facts relating to German practice. The study has been greatly assisted by further help given by Dr. F. A. Oetken, Herr Klitzing and Dr. F. Mueller. These gentlemen are well-known German specialists in fuel research who have visited the Foundation during the year and discussed with members of the staff" our own problems. A somewhat similar development is taking place in New South Wales. Australia, and again, owing to the courtesy of the State Electricity Commission of X'ictoria, we have been provided with complete records of the recent investigations and OM'ARIO R1.S1.AKC 11 lOlMJATKJN 1 OR 1930 21 results ()l)taiiied since the undertakinjj; reached the producticni sta^e. We are thus gradually accumuhiting, as far as possible, a complete record of similar developments in ( .ermany, Australia, the I'nited States and Western Canada. I )iMini; the suinnu'i months a large sample of the lignite ]>resent in Northern Ontario was shipped to the Foundation and using this material a preliminary survey of the physical and chemical properties of the lignite has commenced. In this connection a satisfactory rapid method for the determination of moisture in the lignite has been perfected. Steps ha\'e been taken to ecjuif) at the depf)sit a routine laboratory at which tests will be made in connectifMi with a survey of the lignite as the material is exposed during the sinking of a new shaft. The type of mining and subsequent treatment to be adopted will dcj)end \er\' largely on the information secured by this careful surves'. A limited amount of work has also been done in the laborator>- in connection with the briquetting of lignite and the preparation of lignite char. An externally heated metal retort for carbonizing large samples at 600° C. has been constructed and tested. The Foundation enjoNed the pri\ilege, during the summer months, of being associated with the Geological Survey of Canada and the Ontario Department of Mines in the investigation of certain methods of geophysical prospecting. Mr. Hawkins was a member of a party under the direction of Dr. Gilchrist of the University of Toronto and during this time gained valuable experience and training. In the month of August, Dr. Gilchrist and Mr. Hawkins conducted resistivity measurements on the Onakawana lignite deposit and compared the results obtained by this method with the logs of drill holes in the area. Later Mr. Hawkins returned to the field with a party and made a more extensive survey. In addition, during sinking of the shaft in connection with the lignite deposit, Mr. Hawkins has made resistivity measurements iti situ of the various clay formations in the area. When these measurements are complete they will afford an interesting comparison with those secured by surface determinations. The investigations are preliminary in character and it is too early to express any view as to whether or not geophysical methods can be used for the determination of the presence of lignite in this area. This work has clearly shown, however, that measurements of this character can be continued during the winter season with no complications due to the freeze up, and in addition transportation is more rapid and convenient. The W'ork in progress in the gas laboratory is in connection with a research fellowship supported by the Consumers' Gas Company. Before experimental work commenced Mr. Maconachie spent several weeks in the plant and different departments of the company. The experience w^hich he gained in this work and the contacts which were established proved invaluable. I desire to express my appreciation of the courtesy extended by Mr. Hewitt and officers of the company. The principal problem under investigation during the year is that relating to the formation of a white coating on the outside of some domestic chimneys, and the general deterioration of the structure. Both these conditions are caused by the action of condensate from flue gases formed by the burning of fuels rich in hydrogen. The 'composition of this condensate has been determined; a rapid efflorescence test for bricks and wallettes developed, and a rapid test for 22 THE REPORT OF THE experimental small chimneys. It has been found that under some conditions efflorescence can be caused by water alone, but that the condition is more pronounced when the condensate contains sulphuric acid formed from sulphur dioxide present in the gases. \'arious protective coatings have been tested and encouraging results obtained. Field observations are being made at the same time with the co-operation of officers of the company and service tests of some alloys and one protective coating are being made in domestic installations. Dr. W'estman has commenced in the ceramics laboratory an investigation of a new method for determining the rate of water loss in plastic clay bodies when subjected to mechanical pressure by means of water-permeable pistons. The necessary apparatus and technique have been developed to enable the rate of water loss of clay discs to be determined at mechanical pressures ranging from about 100 lbs. per sq. in. to 10,000 lbs. per sq. in. It has been found during the investigation that certain clay discs when submitted to these high pressures, and under these conditions, actually expand when further drying takes place in air. During the year Dr. Westman published an important theoretical paper entitled "The Packing of Particles." It was published in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. The Foundation was represented by members of the department at nine important scientific meetings in the United States, Germany, and Canada during the year, and the Director of the department is a member of several important technical committees of the American Society for Testing Materials which is interested in the application of modern statistical methods to the quality control of mass production. Dr. \A'. A. Shewhart of the Bell Telephone Laboratories is the leader of the group and he has shown already in the affairs of his own company the tremendous value of these methods. The contact which the Foundation has with this work will lead, I hope, to a wider application in Ontario of the methods suggested by this important committee. Dr. \\'estman himself has taken a leading part in the preparation of a refractory test manual which was published in the Proceedings of the American Society for Testing Materials and has been used extensively. Already a revised edition is being prepared. In the laboratory devoted to general chemical problems a variety of minor questions submitted to the Foundation by various firms in the Province have been investigated and reported upon. Mr. McDowell has also commenced an investigation of some of the fatty acids present in vegetable oils. These oils are the raw material for an increasing number of industrial processes, and more accurate and basic scientific knowledge is required for further progress. DEPARTMENTS 01-^ BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY In the month of May, Mr. Tennyson Jar\is joined the staff to undertake research work in connection with agricultural problems. Mr. Jarvis is a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College and subsequently studied at Cornell Uni\ersit>- and at Oxford. For ten years he was an officer of the International Nickel Compan\- and during that time carried on intensive investigations on agricultural problems in the Su(lbur\- district. ONTARIO Kl.Sl.ARt il I ()l NUAllCJN 1(JR V)M) 23 Durinji the last t\vent\-f'ive \ears a branch of biology known as ecology has graduall\- deNeloped and the findings of research workers in the field are now being considered from the point of \iew of their practical application. In brief, the ecologist attempts to stud\- the particular coincidence of conditions which most favours the characteristii- plant or some modification of the normal which may be desirable for economic reasons. The crop produced is a direct result of (a) the variety of the species planted, (b) the climatic envir(jnment during the life histor\- of the plant, and (r) the type and quantity of available nutriment. Certain factors which contribute to the coincidence, such as the available nitrogen in the soil, are under the control of the culti\ator to a more or less degree; other important factors, such as the length of growing season or variations in light intensity cannot be changed. In some experimental work on field crops and in a great deal of practical agriculture no attention is paid to the law of limiting factors, first enunciated b>- RIackman. This law states that when some contri- buting factor, e.}^., sunlight or moisture, is limiting the speed (jr quantity of growth no improvement is possible by increasing or diminishing associated factors, e.i^., temperature or mineral supplies. In experimental work it is obviously necessary to keep all factors in excess other than the one which is the object of scientific investigation. During the summer and autumn months a careful study has been made of that portion of the Province east of a line from Kingston to Ottawa. The types of soil, natural flora and culti\ated crops have l)een recr^rded, and this information is being collated with geological formations and the data relating to climatic conditions such as rainfall, length of day and temperature. At the same time Mr. Jarvis is preparing a series of the most favourable co-incidences with regard to standard crops, such as potato, wheat, barley and oats, based on a careful study of the scientific agricultural literature. We hope in this way to compare existing conditions in a particular agricultural section of the Province with the conditions demanded by agricultural theory. It may be possible to make definite recommendations when the investigations at present under way are more advanced. A stud\- of the records so far obtained, particularly the photographs of various stretches of cultivated country, clearh- indicates the necessity for a more scientific utilization of land and a better correlation of crops and prevailing conditions. If further evidence were required it is to be obtained by observing the considerable variations in the yields obtained of the same crop by individual farmers in an area which is superficially uniform. This apparent uniformity disappears on more careful study of such a fundamental factor as soil. In the eastern counties Mr. Jarvis has already listed eighteen distinct types of soil. We hope that in time it will be possible for the farmer to substitute accurate knowledge regarding his own farm for broad generalizations which break down under individual trial. Such a scheme demands the good-will and active co-operation of the indi\idual farmer, and without them progress is impossible. What can be accomplished if the farmer, the extension worker and the research laboratory work as a team has been clearh- demonstrated in Denmark and other countries. During the past year Dr. Barbour has continued his investigations on behalf of Canada Packers, Limited. In addition to the major problem commenced last year investigations hav'e been carried out on the low temperature preservation 24 THE REPORT OF THE of meats and the vitamin content of tomato joice preparations. The apparatus and animal colonies for the vitamin work are standard in type and will be available for general work of a similar character. After a long discussion with a fairh" large and representative group of leather manufacturers in the Pro\ince, three companies agreed to co-operate in the support of a research laboratory. The necessary accommodation was provided and we were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. \\\ C. Henry who at that time occupied an important position in the laboratories of an American company. He graduated from the University of Toronto after a thorough training in chemistry and microbiology and spent six years securing practical experience in the production of leather in both Canadian and American plants. Since coming to the Foundation he has placed at the disposal of the three companies this broad experience and scientific training. The results obtained have been most gratifying. He has for several months been engaged in a careful study of methods for the manufacture of patent leather. The results obtained on a laboratory scale are very encouraging, and we hope in the near future to submit them to the more critical test of large-scale operations. During the last twenty-five years great progress has been made in our knowledge and understanding of the nature of the protein molecule and of its physical and chemical properties. This scientific information has profoundly affected the views of medical men and physiologists. Leather is essentially a protein but it is not an exaggeration to say that the progress in protein and colloid chemistry has so far hardly increased the general understanding of the nature of leather or modified methods of manufacture in this country. In the United States and Great Britain on the other hand a correlation is being estab- lished between the fundamental sciences and leather technology, and the same relationship must be established in this country if this industry is to progress. Mr. B. P. Skey has continued his investigations into the history of co-operative marketing in Ontario. His work has been done in the Department of Political Science, University of Toronto. The story of co-operative movements for the sale of apples, honey, wool and cheese has been secured from a mass of original documents. I feel sure that based on this intensive work Mr. Skey will be able to formulate conclusions which will be of \'alue to the agricultural interests of the Province. Miss Forward has continued her work in the Department of Botany and has already obtained a good deal of fundamental information regarding the nature of resistance in wheat to rust. Mr. Jukes who graduated wiih honours at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, during the year was granted a fellowship and at the present time is working in the Department of Biochemistry, Uni\ersity of Toronto. It was our privilege during the year to assist Professor Bruce of Queen's University in connection with a visit to Finland to examine, in association with Dr. Sederholm, the pre-Cambrian geology of that country.
